The flat is very lovingly and completely furnished, and is a good size for two people. Only a washing machine is not available, which is probably normal in the USA. However, there is a launderette just around the corner. Communication with the hosts was very easy and quick.
The area is a bit rough, but we got used to it quickly. The best thing about the apartment is definitely the good connection to the underground system. You can get to all parts of Manhattan quickly and at all times.
The flat is a nice retreat to relax in.
We felt very comfortable in the flat.
