A wonderful apartment in a nice neighborhood! The apartment is spacious, tidy and clean. There's a laundry on the basement floor and a gym on the top floor. The building is near a beautiful park near East River where I loved to take walks! The subway station is in two blocks and the crosstown bus stops very close to the house. That was very convenient for me as I went to West Side regularly. The host, Wendy, is a very nice, friendly and polite person! In the move-in day she explained me everything I needed to know in all details.
Why not five stars?
Wendy asked me to change my move-in day from Sept 5th to Sept 6th. That wasn't a problem, just a bit inconvenient. During our first meeting, she promised to make a refund for that night but I still haven't got my money back. Four weeks have passed since then! And I still have to wait because of a small issue. Once during my visit I forgot the key in the apartment. The building staff opened the door for me with their key but told me about a $60 bill. I promised Wendy to leave this money in cash in the apartment and that’s exactly what I did. However, Wendy claimed that there was no cash left for her. Now I have to wait till she is in the city again, so she can look more carefully for the cash, and she doesn't go to the city often.
