The apartment is exactly as it looks in the pictures, an amazing place to stay with quirky interior, fantastic amenities, including all you need for home from home, plus the use of a well equipped gym and pool. Location is just 5 minutes walk from the subway, or a 20 minute walk or so over the bridge in to Harlem, very easy and quick to get in to Manhattan.
The only thing that let the place down for me was the noise. The apartment is on a busy junction and as a result the noise from the traffic does not stop day or night. There is also building work being carried out opposite the apartment which starts early in the morning.
The day time noise was not a problem, but the noise at night was. Unfortunately this and the noise from footsteps on the floor of the apartment above, plus the bar below meant that i moved out after one week as i could not get a decent sleep. Other people who are less sensitive to noise/ more used to city noise, may not be bothered by this.
Dakota is a great host and was thoroughly professional throughout, allowing me to move without any fuss. The advert has now been amended to state that there is some noise from the road, and the building site.
