We stayed 10 days at Andre's apartment and it served our purpose as a base to visit NY. We found the reviews helpful and pretty accurate. Communication with Andre was very good. The subways were conveniently located, most within 12 - 15 minute walk. There were several supermarkets close by. What was missing from the reviews is that the apartment needs a complete renovation. It could use a deep cleaning, new or repaired interior doors, and new furniture and appliances. The recliner had a broken side, the fridge is missing a handle, and the veneer on the dresser is peelling off. The kitchen is fairly well equipped, but there is no counter space and very little storage space. The old microwave is on top of the fridge and could be hard for some people to reach. The shower always had lots of hot water, but as another reviewer mentioned, it is a little tricky to get it adjusted.
