The apartment is in a great location. Only a few short blocks from different subway lines making it very easy to get into the city. Check in was a breeze. Communication was excellent and Maba was very kind and helpful. He knows the neighborhood well and had excellent recommendations. Unfortunately our stay was less than ideal. We realize that living in a big city like New York has its challenges, but we were pretty disappointed. Upon arrival we noticed a very strong smell of cat urine in the second bedroom. Maba did his very very best to remedy the situation. We lit candles that he provided each night, which helped a little but the smell never quite went away. The pillows were really hard and flat making sleep difficult for us, so plan on bringing your own if this is a challenge for you too. The sheets were polyester. Not a big deal, but the description did say Egyptian cotton. Polyester made for some pretty warm nights. At this point we would not recommend this to our friends, but we’re real hopeful that Maba can fully address the issues because it really is in a great location and he is so kind!!
