Overall, my friend and I had a very pleasant stay at this place. The pictures are an accurate depiction, the size is perfect for 2 people, it is calm, the neighbourhood is a very nice one with lovely shops, cafes and places to eat, and public transport is not far. One must count in about 45 minutes from the house to, say, midtown Manhattan. But this is reflected in the price. On the downside, the aparment was very warm (heating is regulated centrally) and the heating makes a rather disturbing noise in the bedroom, both of which made sleeping rather difficult on several nights. I should say that, Mike responded promptly when I pointed this out and asked for the heating to be turned down. However, it still remained pretty warm. The window in the bedroom lets through air (due to the AC external unit) which isn't a problem in summer but definitely is when it's cold and windy outside, as on our first night (I had to place an extra duvet in the window). While the kitchen, bathroom, sheets and towels were very clean, there was a lot of sticky dust on the floor, especially in the bedroom and the tables weren't very clean. We also noticed several moths flying around. So the flat could benefit from a more thorough cleaning. Nevertheless, I would stay in this apartment again, especially given its great location and the fact that Mike was a very responsive host who gave us very clear instructions for check-in and check-out and responded quickly whenever we had questions.
