We loved staying here for our first trip to NYC! We stayed for a week and had a great time. Ivanna and Emmanuel were friendly, their dog was cute, they didn’t bother us, and they were willing to answer any questions we had. They provided towels and our own key to both our room and their main apartment. The bathroom is in the main apartment so you’ll be using their key pretty regularly. Thankfully both of our hosts were okay with us going over to use the bathroom at any and all hours (even a couple 3am trips). As for the actual room: what you see in the picture is what you get. It fit two adults pretty comfortably. The bed is a pull out futon so the mattress is kinda thin. Just something to keep in mind if you’re planning an extended stay. Bringing your own pillow might not be a bad idea if you can. There is a window AC unit that worked well for us as we never had any issues with the temperature of the room. Light from the hallway does shine under the bottom of the door at night, however it never bothered us and if it’s going to bother you a towel or something could easily be placed under the door to block it out. The room shares a wall with another tenant but we never heard any noise other than the occasional dog in the hallway. It is a fourth floor walk up but we were pretty used to it by day 3 and honestly it’s a small price to pay for such a good location at a cheap price. The apartment is located a VERY short walk from the Jefferson L Train station which you can easily take to Manhattan. You can also walk to a bunch of cafes, places to eat, and places to shop. The streets next to the apartment could be considered a little noisy but it didn’t stop us from sleeping or wake us up at any point during our stay. Overall we had an awesome experience in NYC and this apartment and its convenient location were a big part of that. As a nice added touch our hosts allowed us to keep our luggage in their main apartment since their checkout was at 11am and our flight wasn’t until 6pm. We decided to head to the airport early but it was really nice to not have to carry our stuff around on the last day until we were ready to go. Thank you so much Emmanuel and Ivanna! We had a lot of fun and would definitely stay here again!
