If you're considering staying here, do it! As my 5th time in New York, but 1st time "living like a local" it was a truly unforgettable experience. My mother and I stayed here for 4 nights and were both very comfortable with the sleeping arrangements, one in the loft, one on the couch. The host was very responsive! Our first night was very cold (start of December) so the host dropped off a heater in the morning which made all the difference. We were both impressed with the location, heaps of shops, bars and eateries within walking distance, and the apartment itself was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Will definitely be staying again when I come back to NYC.
