Amanda and her housemate were very friendly and showed us great hospitality the moment we arrived. Amanda was also contactable when necessary. My wife and I booked this place at the very last minute and Amanda accommodated us at that short notice.
The apartment looked like the pictures attached. It has 3 bedroom and a shared bathroom. Our room was a little small however it is common in manhattan and it was enough room for two persons.
The place is located in a residential area with restaurants, retails, convenience stores, bars and etc within the vicinity. I am a tourist from across the globe and i felt the neighborhood safe. I am totally new to NYC and i got around using google map (very convenient as it tells you which subway lines and which transit to make using directions). A must have for visitors i felt. Another useful app is yelp for review and restaurants nearby . The subway is about 8-10 minutes walk which is fine by me as i love to walk while traveling.
Important notes:
-Wifi is working and has fast speeds
-tv/dvd player and cable tv in room however i never used it as i was out most of the time.
-desk and chair is available in the room.
-mini fridge in room (a surprise and very convenient for me to store food n drinks)
-air condition was working
-new clean bed sheets/pillows/towels/face towels
-toiletries were available however we did not use them
-fruits/snacks/water was left in the room when we arrived
-bed is lofted (as advertised) therefore you have to climb up but i was fine with it.
Overall stay was great! My wife and i stayed for over a week and will not hesitate to return should we revisit NYC!!!
