Great place. The location was fantastic. Easy to jump on the 1 train to get uptown or use West 4 subway to get just about anywhere. Loved it.

The photos are mostly accurate. Some of the furniture is different (e.g. different coffee table and furniture in the main bedroom). It wasn't an issue for us - the furniture that's there now is actually bigger than what was in the photos, so that was good. The photo of the bathroom is *almost* right. The toilet is actually between the vanity basin and the shower - but in one of the photos it's missing. There's a photo of a trunk thing and a chaise lounge thing that weren't in the apartment when we were there.

Very minimal contact with the host, which suited us fine.

A couple of cons to note: yes, as others have mentioned, the bedroom windows face out on to a busy intersection and are loud at night. We took ear plugs so the noise wasn't a problem. The bed and the floor in the main bedroom are squeaky and creaky.

The apartment is a great size for 4 guests. So much better than getting a crapped hotel room. I'd stay here again.
