I stayed here for 5 months and everything was great. The apartment is very basic and the best way to describe it is “functional”, but it’s cozy and you can make it feel like home.
First, the location is fantastic, 20 min walk to the Central Park and 5 min walk to Hudson River Park, so it’s perfect if you run or need to go for a walk to unwind. It’s midtown, but actually far enough from the Times Square madness. Plus Hell’s Kitchen is a great neighborhood, a lot of food options and cute bars, but the block where the apartment is is very quiet. I was sleeping with an open window every night and never woke up from any noise.
Second, Ignacio is a great host, super responsive and very helpful. All my inquiries were resolved in a timely manner and I never had any issues. For example, I asked for a mirror and it was in my place the next day.
The only thing is that it’s a rather an old building so it might or might not come with old NY building problem, but it’s more NY problem than apt.
