The apartment is very clean and looks exactly as advertised. The only issue with the apartment that I had was with the lack of air conditioning. My stay coincidentally happened during the first warm weather of the season, and as Ara had just moved in to the apartment in the winter, she had not had a need for A/C yet.
Ara was very accommodating with working with my schedule to provide the apartment key as I arrived late at night. Luckily, I had a friend living nearby who helped facilitate a key transfer.
The location is convenient to Central Park and a few subway stations, so getting around the city is fairly simple.
