Douglas's apartment was just as listed and more. It was quiet and comfortable with a lot of nice little touches such as umbrellas. We did not use the pullout couch, but the bed was very comfortable. Plenty of hot water and a well stocked kitchen. The neighborhood is residential but very close to many, many restaurants along 2nd Ave. Since the apartment is on the first floor and at the end of the hallway, there is very little noise from outside or within the building. Douglas responded promptly to all questions, and even though our plane and bus made us late arriving, there was someone there to let us in within 10 minutes. We especially liked being able to walk to the Met and the green line which can get you so many places. Great stay!
