Lamee was not there when we arrived; his dad was around and navigated the lockbox. I later found the information in my email, sent after we were in transit. The apartment was spacious, economical, HOT and borders the projects (Stuyvesant Garden), with one way streets taking you through it! There were not enough towels for the 4 of us. After a day or so of sharing, I emailed Lamee. The next day there were towels and a requested fan, as the place was a sauna with very little air circulation, waiting outside the door. Looking for sheets for the couch bed, I pulled some out and dead/live bugs fell out. There was no microwave (for reheating/cooking) and the stove had burners that did not work. The oven worked okay but the temperature of the place, even with the fan, made its use seem like a suicidal cry for help. The refrigerator was not wiped after the last people and did not work at all (realized too late!) but the freezer sometimes worked as a refrigerator. This is important because it was advertised as being great for a traveling family….get some milk for the kids….not. We had to consume everything near immediately…makes the just right price not so just right as you are spending extra money at the corner store. We received a half roll or so of toilet paper, which did not last long between 4 females! We also had one trash 13-gallon bag for the entire stay, which was used up pretty quickly from all the extra food trash! Thank you corner store! There was no way to sort/recycle as is the law in NYC. The apartment is on the third floor so if you do not do narrow, long stairs with a dog and small child well, this is not the place. It was nice however that we could have the dog. The place is not well finished at all (“under construction”/rustic in places) but clean mostly (doors unpainted, cracked tiles, water damage, screen-less windows letting mosquitos in, screens with holes, slanting floor, no molding, painted metal tub pealing). Easy access to subway and bus is a 10-minute, BRISK, walk that starts to drag on when done with a small child. It is not reasonable at all to travel that way with a small child, who was then very tired before getting to the activity of the day….which took more walking….let me not even mention the return trip. I even tried to go to the different trains (A or J), nope still bad. Then there was the car service you can flag down on the corner of Monroe and Lewis…$7 to the J train. I saw Lamee on the last day, for a moment….literally…and he was down on the first floor the whole time! If traveling with kids this is a not. For the devil may care bunch this is perfect! We will not stay again, if we could have moved on from there sooner we would have.
