Trey is a very communicative host. He gave wonderful instructions & was easy to reach throughout our stay.
The apt: beautifully updated with high end fixtures (inversion microwave, Purple brand mattress). Very clean - I wiped the surfaces and not an ounce of dirt - that was a relief. Good water pressure and apparently on-demand hot water as it never ran out (much appreciated with a family of 5). Be warned that the entry to the apartment is via steep steps with a handrail. There is one bedroom with a queen bed and the living room/kitchen/dining room is also the location of the sofa bed and there is an air mattress. We were a tight squeeze but it worked. Added amenities of chips, tea & coffee as well as seasonings and a well stocked kitchen - definitely a nice touch.
The location: The area is “interesting”. I guess it could be a “true NYC experience”? A working class neighborhood and on Saturday night we could hear (feel?) music blasting from a neighbor having a late night house party. There was ample street parking and it’s close to public transportation.
Check out Moon Deli nearby - great fresh smoothies and hero sandwiches.
Overall - it was a convenient location, 30 min in to the city and well decorated/maintained.
