Eric was great when checking us in, he gave us a tour of the apartment and a short tour of the block to point us in the direction of markets, food, central park, and the subway. I thought this was great! The apartment itself looks exactly like the photos, very clean. It is on the small side, but it worked great for my husband and I. The kitchen was stocked with utensils and cookware, which was great when we wanted to prepare our own food or reheat leftovers. It is pretty quiet at night but the New York city sounds start early on in the morning. The subway (Line 6) was about 1.5 blocks away and was very convenient. We took it often. The area is in East Harlem and there were some sketchy characters walking around at night but we never felt unsafe. There are markets and soooooo many fast food places within a block away. The only thing I wish was that there were more restaurants and things to do nearby at night that didn't require a subway ride to enjoy. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you Eric!
