The host is responsive and helpful.
We enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It is spacious enough, especially for nYC standards, and it had a lot of supplies (cleaning, kitchen, etc) that you would need at the house. The building is in a convenient location, but I wish it had an elevator. It is not a hard climb up the stairs per se, but getting luggage up and down was a hassle. The apartment was also cold the first week or so, but then the host managed to get us portable heaters. Other than that, all was good. The laundry room and stairwell are clean. We also felt safe that there were CCTV cameras inside the building.
Overall, we were satisfied with our stay and host... recommend it.
