My husband and I stayed at Ephraim’s place for a week and it was AWESOME. The place is exactly as seen - it was sparkling clean and relatively spacious for NYC. Ephraim is a really nice guy - he helped carry my luggage upstairs when I arrived (I was alone) and he sent me recommendations and tips for the neighborhood. The bed is really comfy and the apartment has a great feel. Ephraim was also super responsive when I needed an extra heater and he let us have late check out w no problem. The subway is only 2 blocks away (although it’s a local stop so it takes a good 25-30 minutes to get to Midtown). The stairs are a bit annoying because they are steep and a little windy - but it’s only 2 flights so you get used to it. Overall a really great stay and experience.
