The location couldn't have been better for us. Near subway, restaurants, etc. As a third-floor walkup facing the courtyard, it was really quiet. A little more worn and cluttered than the photos look. Might be time for a coat of paint and an upgrade of some surfaces. Small things like knobs on the kitchen cabinets and some new towels would help. Communication with Stephen and Carla was great, as was easy access to the apartment. The steps, lobby, and garbage areas aren't particularly well-looked after, though that's probably out of Stephen and Carla's control.
