Mark was a great host. It was easy to check in and find, the apartment was super clean and smelt nice and had everything we needed.
This is a basement apartment so understandably you can hear noises from upstairs, however you can hear EVERYTHING, the residents are up all hours of the day and night so there is constant noise. You can hear conversations and footsteps everywhere they go. This made
us feel a little weary of our noise levels too.

On a positive note, the location was great to get to central- just 2 trains and you were there. At night walking back from the station was a little sketchy after 11pm but we didn’t feel unsafe.
I would recommend this apartment if you’re a heavy sleeper like us, otherwise I don’t think you’ll have a great night sleep.
The other thing was the duvet didn’t have a duvet cover on, just a sheet underneath- not sure if this is common in America however, we felt this was a bit unhygienic.
If we returned to NYC we would happily stay here again.
