The apartment is just as pictured! It is very clean as well! We went in the winter and never once did we walk into a cold apartment! With that being said there is no need for extra blankets( and that’s coming from a frequently cold person:). As for food there is a deli directly across the street that has necessities as well as food that is very well priced! She also includes Netflix, Disney plus, etc! If you are visiting NYC I highly recommend Grumpy cafe as it is the best coffee, it is located in the building where the NBC studio is! Also Jo’s Pizza is AMAZING! (I hope this helped:)
