Ofer is prompt and timely. The Airbnb is run like a business, and the property mangers of the building are diligent about maintaining the old building.

I stayed here for the month or April with my and we had no problems with mice, bedbugs, or anything of that nature. There was a minor leaky valve in the sink but was very promptly attended to by building management.

The apartment was however unreasonably cold and I believe that the window in the bedroom is not sealed properly. The weather took a turn for the warmer fortunately, but I did mentioned the window situation to Ofer. I'm sure he will take a look and see what is up if anything.

The apartment is very accurate to photos. It is a studio apartment that has been 'flexed' (i.e. wall built) into a one bedroom. While it is small, it's very functional and suitable for short-term stays. The walls are very thin though so you can literally hear every word of the neighbors conversations at times and all the footsteps of people in the hallways. Most of the people are young and fairly inconsiderate as they thud up and down the stairwell in late hours. That said, if you're not a light sleeper and looking to be in the young and happening part of NY, this is for you!

Neighborhood will certainly give you an authentic New Yorker between the ages of 20-30 experience. This apartment is near everything! All the popular places to dine - brunch, lunch, dinner, deserts, ice cream - are but steps away. Every place you want to grab coffee and shop - it's all there!

*Note on the nearby Wash & Fold behind the apartment* - They gave my friend two articles that weren't hers the first time we used their service and on the second the clothes were super over dried clothes to the extent that a shirt with some minor lace details had all the lace burnt off.
