The room is sunny and nice, as the description says. Gramercy, the neighborhood is also nice, with many bars and restaurants around the apartment. Gramercy Park, two blocks away from the apartment, is really great. It´s worth visiting.
There is no lift in the building and the apartment is on the second floor. The stairs are really old and the steps are worn out: it makes arriving up to the apartment complicated if you are carrying a heavy suitcase.
The room is really nice and the bed is comfortable. But, the room faces the street and the building is in front of a very big school. For that reason, I found it to be quite noisy during the working days. The kitchen is very small and I didn´t feel comfortable cooking there. There is neither enough space nor adequate equipment to cook. Nor did I feel comfortable enough with the cleanliness of the kitchen in order to prepare my food there. In the fridge there were many vegetables spread all around and I didn´t have enough space, even, to keep my food. So, I only had breakfast in the apartment, and for the other meals I ended up eating out or buying prepared food and eating it in the room. The bathroom is also small, but functional. Internet WIFI was excellent!
Lola was friendly. She suggested visiting a very nice museum (the Whitney) and, on the last night, she invited me to take a walk to the East River Park (Great view of Queens). I didn´t need more help because I already know the city and I know what to do and where to go.
The place is a good choice if you don´t plan to spend so much time in the apartment to cook, rest or work. If you just want to sleep, take a short shower and eat a light breakfast every morning before going out, it is adequate. My opinion is that this apartment is a good option if you don´t have too many demands.
