I had an absolute wonderful stay at Crystal's apartment! She was such a great host that always had a positive energy and a smile, and she gave me some good advice and recommendations on how to navigate New York, when I arrived. Communication was easy, and whenever I had a question or needed anything, she would solve it right away. We got along really well, while being mindful of each others' space, so my 10 weeks in Crystal's apartment were easy and comfortable, and it gave me a great sense of having a base that I could come back to after work and relax.
There is another room in the apartment, which was rented out to another summer intern, so with a little coordination of shower times in the mornings the three of us managed not to overlap.
The apartment was super clean, which was much appreciated, had a spacious bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen. The air-condition in the room was a relief during the NY summer. The room is very true to the pictures and contains a comfortable bed, a bookcase (where I stored most of my clothes), a closet with hangers, a small desk and a chair. The room is facing the courtyard, so there isn't any noise from the street.
The apartment is located very close to several subway stations as well: the A, B, C, and D lines are within 8 min walking distance, and the 1 and 3 within 15 min. The nearest supermarket is within 5 min, and there are lots of coffee shops, delis, and restaurants in the area.
