Positive aspects
• Steps away from the subway.
• Midtown, a few subway rides from most tourist spots.
• Comfortable bed.
• Responsive host.
• Heating and air conditioning.
• Sunny and ventilated apartment.
• Flexibility to let us in a bit earlier (though only confirmed on the day of arrival) and to let us leave a bit later than check-out time.
Negative aspects
• Regular check-in is not until 4pm, too late.
• No possibility to leave our luggage in the apartment before check-in time.
• No possibility to have early check-in although we offered to pay for it.
• The shower is weak, the water comes out poorly.
• The building was a bit dusty. Some surfaces in the apartment too.
• No elevator (two flights of stairs to get to the apartment). Tricky when there is a heavy luggage.
