The apartment was great for me, and completely met my needs for a satisfying visit to New York. The size is ideal for up to two, and is equipped with all practical supplies, i.e. kitchen, bedroom, living room and bathroom. Lots of storage, great shower and comfortable bed. A highlight for me was the furnished private patio. Even when the temperature was very high, there are trees providing shade enough keep it cool enough to use.
The neighborhood is clean, friendly and convenient. A plus to be across the street from Charles Schurz Park. There are not only many green areas but also a beautiful promenade for walks along the East River. Getting around the city is very convenient with a mix of city busses and the Q train only a couple blocks away. The host Natasha is very responsive, check in and check out was seamless.
