Overall the place was super cozy and a great stay. Mira did an amazing job designing and decorating it and making it feel very homey. It’s a second floor walk up, and there is no doorman, but the place is on a Main Street, so it felt very safe to walk back to at night. I had no issues security wise. Sometimes people would buzz the apartment at night, so just be cautious not to let a stranger in. Amazing location, most of the major subway lines were within 5-10 minutes walking distance. It was an ideal location for my one month stay to experience New York City life.
I would highly recommend bringing a fan. The radiators would get very hot and there’s no way to control the temperature. There is an AC in the living room, but the bedroom itself gets very hot at night. I had to have the super come and turn off one of the radiators. The radiator also makes a lot of noise, so just be prepared for that. The place itself is a little small, but it’s perfect for one person. The shower clogs easily, attracting pipe gnat, but Mira provides a pipe cleaner, and upon using it all the flies are gone. I had to do this twice.
Mira included a laundry service twice a month, but I would highly recommend finding an alternative. I gave about a weeks worth of my clothes but that was apparently over the budgeted limit. It also ended up taking 2 days for me to get my clothes back and some items were missing.
At times it was difficult communicating with Mira leading to some misunderstandings, so just make sure you are very clear with your messaging and the point you are trying to get across.
Overall would highly recommend the place itself to anyone.
