We spent one week in this unit (June 5 - June 12) and found that it was a great location! A few blocks to the subway station, close to many, many restaurants and markets within walking distance. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that the apartment was relatively quiet and would even wake to hear birds singing in the morning.
Our host, David met us on site, at an agreed upon time and gave us a tour of the apartment and was available for any questions or concerns we may have had. The apartment is quaint and distinctly vintage. Classic New York style! Very reminiscent of older New York with touches of modern day, (large screen TV, low profile bed frame and mattress), with a two person table nook, one person bathroom and sloping wood floors. The bedroom is large and the mattress is firm. We reversed sleeping at the ‘foot’ of the bed due to the sloping floors and had a great view of a large painting of the New York skyline :) The apartment has two air conditioning units, one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen/dining area and an upright fan, if preferred over A/C. All in all, we felt the apartment worked well for us and gave us the feel of the quintessential New York experience.
