Our stay went fine. The appartment is very nice and clean, and perfectly ready to be used. Even some kitchen stock available, which helps to start the holidays. Noemie and her family are very kind and helpful. We had a very good stay, with no hurdles. Getting from the appartment to central Manhatan is about 45 minutes by subway. We knew this beforehand and therefore this didn't pose a problem to us, yet one should count on that.
All in all a good choice.
