This was a great place to stay and if I am back in NYC I would choose to stay at Ryad's place again. I stayed for a week so I can visit family. I was able to also work remotely from Ryad's kitchen, which has a nice monitor and reliable internet connection.
Yes, the apartment is on the 5th floor, but I wouldnt let that deter me from staying here again. The convenience of where the apartment is located is great. Everything was clean, according to description, and surprisingly quiet given it's location.
