Pros
This apartment is excellently located in NYC for getting all around Manhattan and even to Brooklyn. The AC is quiet, and the shower pressure is good. Douglas is very attentive and you can tell they've made an effort to curate the home and provide good furnishing and supplies. They are great hosts and this makes a big difference. As others have already stated, the kitchen is excellent - kettle, toaster, microwave, coffee maker (with pods) etc. Plenty of towels and a modern washing machine and dryer. Massive closet. Bathroom has enough soap, shampoo and conditioner for long-staying guests and cleaning products are also provided. Bed is very comfy. Enough room to do yoga on the floor if you bring your own mat. Gym is also well equipped and massive. Beautiful roof top and seemingly virtually unused.
Cons
We found the noise travelled from the street level into the rooms, and the blinds were not dark enough. Douglas offered to look into it for us, but it wasn't bothersome enough to consider changing apartments given the perks above. So, if you're very sensitive to noise, it might be something to consider. If you're used to the city, then this isn't relevant for you. No packages delivery allowed due to covid.
