The host was very accommodating and worked with our schedule for check-in and check-out with very prompt replies. As most people have noted in other reviews, street noise is very loud and the building also makes some strange noises in the middle of the night (perhaps having to do with the pipes?). Ear plugs are provided which is a nice touch and they help a bit. It is located in a really cool neighborhood with a lot of bars and restaurants within walking distance. The apartment is small but cute and cozy and to be expected given it is NYC!
