I was in the city visiting friends for the weekend and it was perfect for my needs. Near the 25th St. subway station which isn't hard to navigate and a 30+ min Lyft from Penn Station in Manhattan or 30+ minute Subway ride. You also have a view of the Manhattan skyline and you can see the Statue of Liberty (very small but you can see it!). The apartment is spacious, gets great light and its beautiful. Comfortable bed, clean space, lots of plants which I loved, updated kitchen in a relatively quiet building if that is what you are looking for. Though people live there so there will be some noise. It is a 5th floor walk up so if you are not comfortable climbing the stairs this is not the stay for you, but it did get easier for me each time I came back upstairs.
I'd recommend this place over and over again! Julia is a great host.
