It is spacious and clean. The cats are friendly and cuddly. The description of the place is good. The reason I took off some stars is because the place was really cold most of the time. The heater kicked on/off, but wasn't working properly. It was actually warm for part of the night one of the two nights that we were staying there, however even then it got really cold for a few hours. The windows are single pane, typical for New York. It is my experience that NYC apartments are generally cold (just like in London) however, it felt colder than usual in this one. This could have been because of the mess with Sandy that happened recently as the owner suggested, but I thought a warning would be fair. Ask for a space heater, if you are planning to stay during the colder months.
