Ike was very supportive and communication was excellent - prior, during and after the trip.
The apartment was clean, functionally and equipped as described. Water, wine and a short welcome map with restaurants, subway information and others have been available. Towels, bed sheets etc have been available in appropriate quantity.
The apartment is located close to different subway stations, good shopping facilities are located close by.
NY is expensive and the apartment has a good value for money ratio. Nevertheless some parts of the furniture (wardrobe, chairs) have seen a couple of guest already and will need an upgrade in the near future.
Overall the experience was fine and we would definitely recommend the host and the apartment for a visit in NY.
