We stayed here for 3 months for a temporary job in the city. The apartment is a 6th floor walk up (meaning no elevators) but after moving in, it didn't bother us much, and a lot apartments in the area are walkups due to the older buildings in NYC.
The place is as described, normal sized for a NYC apartment, but plenty of room for 2 people and our slew of visitors that we had. The futon couch makes into a bed (bring your own sheets and bedding) and a couple can sleep snugly on it.
The bathroom is VERY spacious, the bathtub was my favorite, it's huge. Loved the bed, so comfortable and I even looked up the mattress because I want it at my real home now.
There is no oven, (there is a microwave and a stovetop) but with Seamless and a million restaurants under us, we didn't need it much. The furniture is adequate, a little worn, but useable.
Management was great, the communication was so smooth and everything that happened in the building (water heater replacement, heat turning on etc) was relayed via notes on our door. Emailing management with any issues was so easy and they responded almost immediately every time.
Also, when we had weather issues and all flights from La Guardia were cancelled, Antonio was so kind and helped us work out an extra night stay since we were stranded.
I would definitely recommend this place to stay, the area has some fabulous restaurants nearby, transportation is easy (subway is about 8 minute walk, bus is 2 minute walk, definitely get a metro pass) parking anywhere in Manhattan is a beast, so leave your car at home. No, really. For the price and location this place is awesome!!
