Niki's place worked out well for us. Immaculately clean, comfortable beds and sofa, new pots pans and knives. Good location, just 1/2 a block from a wonderful grocery/specialty food store, Amish Market, and only 5 blocks to the subway and Grand Central. The kitchen/dining/living room area is roomy. Bedrooms are small - typical for NYC. The apartment is a 2nd floor walk up - 2 flights of stairs. The building was under some renovation when we were there (notice of such came the day we arrived which was disappointing) and the entryway and hallways were quite dusty and strewn with construction debris and other trash. Thankfully, once inside the apartment, a sanctuary of cleanliness greeted us. The apartment in newly renovated with soothing tones of grey against a theme of black and white. Most of what we needed was there with some minor exceptions.
