These apartments are GREAT for short-term lease, whether you need temporary housing while looking for a permanent home or you're in NYC for short-term assignment. They come very well equipped with everything you'll need to feel at home. Kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances and utensils if you want to cook (although really, there are many restaurants right outside). Full refrigerator and microwave. Bathroom is fully equipped, too. Literally, just bring your toothbrush. Plenty of storage and closet hangers, even iron and board are included. It's extremely convenient that the apartment comes with WiFi and Cable TV (and it's included in the price). The place is exactly as you see in the photos, so you know what to expect. Very, very clean, and surprisingly quiet considering that it's on Second Avenue. Location is excellent, too. Many places to eat, shop, you can walk to Central Park, and close to two subway lines. Very well maintained and clean building, and Antonio is extremely responsive. He will answer your emails within minutes (if not seconds). Overall, I like that it's professionally managed. You're not staying at anyone's home, using/sharing anyone's furniture, or dealing with someone else's stuff. Definitely a good value.
