My sister & I had a great time in NYC visiting friends and staying here. Huge bonus - being able to park our car here without any problems. We arrived way earlier than anticipated Friday night & Alice recommend a great restaurant to eat until she got home to leave the door key for us. She said to let us know if we needed her and she'd be around all weekend. The apartment is as pictured, it's a basement unit that's been renovated with it's own separate entrance. Free wifi & Alice had a great list of free/discounted activities and a printed map of the neighborhood for local necessities. Overall, I'd stay here again, but I do have two caveats. 1) Very close to a metro stop, but the L was closed all weekend. Next closest stop was a shuttle ride away (or 20 min walk) but the M/orange line wasn't running late Sat night, so we uber'ed back. Definitely do some metro transit research if you're planning on relying solely on public transportation as we were. Definitely not the hosts fault, just something to keep in mind. 2) If you're not a fan of cats, you might not want to stay here. There was a strong kitty litter smell for me the first night (my sister said she didn't smell it like I did) and I heard them running back and forth frequently upstairs. Not enough to wake me up at night, but I'm also not a lighth sleeper.
