Overall, this was a nice stay, but if you are someone who requires a lot of sunlight in your place, this one only has one window because it is a basement apartment. Below are more details for your consideration.
PROs:
-well decorated: nice paintings, good lighting
-comfortable bed and couch
-well-stocked: apartment has coffee maker, came with Bulletproof single coffee cups, a bottle of wine, hair dryer and Google Home speakers
-safe and quiet location
-large amount of space: 2 bathrooms (one with shower/bath upstairs, one without by the bedroom)
-cool spiral staircase
-newly remodeled/updated downstairs space: flooring, lighting
-multiple gates and doors leading to the apartment, with bars on the window: helpful for safety purposes
-attentive host who responded to concerns such as toilet noise and gas, and answered questions promptly. He was very reasonable and friendly
-host allowed for early check-in
-Central Park is only 2 blocks away
-there are Citibikes right in front of the apartment
-walkable to Shake Shack, the American Museum of Natural History, Mast Market
-good amount of storage: closet upstairs and downstairs
CONs:
-only one window (with bars in front) for sunlight, as this is a basement apartment
-right next to the trash cans, which often has a lot of bugs flying about, and sometimes they will follow you into the apartment
-the streets are very residential, so some may not feel as safe walking at night
-no microwave
-internet can be spotty
-dated flooring upstairs and dated bathrooms
-the front gate lock is hard to use
-ceiling is low in the bedroom downstairs
