This was a great studio and completely hassle free thanks to Keith's set up, it was a great place to stay in Manhatten. We picked the keys up as told and dropped them off when we had finished. We stayed for 8 days and would definitely recommend this apartement to others and would stay there again ourselves (hopefully in March when w return). We didn't have any issues with the shared kitchen, we only really used it for making porridge in the morning and making cups of tea, the rest of the time we were busy eating out way round New York. Sometimes the street was quite loud outside due to drunk revellers or beeping horns but nothing a set of ear plugs didn't sort out. Nice spacious room, thank you!
