The views from this apartment are fantastic because no big buildings are blocking it. Please note that both the living room and the bedroom have views (one of the photos show that), so that is very nice. The place looks just like in the pictures and is very clean. There is plenty of space to put your stuff.
The host is very responsive (pro-active in fact). The area is excellent for using public transport--from/to airport as well as up/down Manhattan. It is probably not the best area for dining, but you can find some good places (e.g. in Koreatown). You can easily walk the Highline or walk to the Library/theaters.
