We really enjoyed the three nights we stayed here! After passing through the somewhat grungy front door, hallway and stairs for the first time, stepping into the apartment was like crossing over into a place of bliss. The apartment is beautifully updated, well designed and extremely comfortable. There are effectively 6 rooms in a row: bathroom, kitchen, dinette, living area, and two bedrooms. There are windows at either end which admit noise and drafts, but also beautiful daylight. There is a club that plays loud music outside the kitchen/bathroom end of the apartment but there must be an ordinance in effect because all was quiet after 10 pm. I slept in the front bedroom and used earplugs and eyeshades, and slept well. The bathroom is well laid out and there is plenty of hot water, but unfortunately the shower water pressure was weak. I reported this to the host so hopefully that issue will be solved for future guests. The kitchen is stunning with all new appliances, counters, and cabinets - so fresh and inviting! It had every single thing we needed - we just had to look in the right drawer or cabinet. There is even a Keurig coffee maker, so bring your K-cups! The dinette table and chairs were very inviting to sit around and chat about the events of the day. The living room had a big TV which seemed new. The beds and bedding were super comfortable, and the bedrooms had chests of drawers and big closets. The location is perfect - close to Penn Station, Times Square and the Port Authority as well as the theater district. The neighborhood seemed very safe. There are tons of restaurants, grocery stores, liquor shops within a few blocks, including a great pizza place a couple of blocks south, and a supermarket and a fruit stand a couple of blocks north. The host was extremely responsive without being intrusive in any way. I texted with a few questions and small issues and got immediate and satisfactory responses. In summary, I would gladly stay in this wonderfully homey apartment again, but I would first check with the host to make sure that the shower pressure issue has been fixed. Very highly recommended!
