The apartment was very clean and orderly. It was properly cooled down so we where able to get a deep sleep despite the hot temperatures outside. all essentials where profided and the host even profided some soap, shampoo and conditioner at the bedsidetable. everything was uncomplicated and relaxed. would definatly recommend to anyone who wants to have an affordable yet comfortable stay in new york and doesn't mind taking sime time to get to the city center. we really liked that fact because it was more quiet and the ride to the city provided time to plan activities and such.
