This is a bare bones apartment, very small with no TV and a convertible sofa on which to sleep. However, it is very clean and very close to public transportation (Lex Ave bus and 103rd St subway). It is a very quiet building (I never saw another resident the entire week), but the outside can get very noisy. Eric is a very congenial host, and tried his best to make me feel comfortable. The only real problem I had was the late check-in time (7:00 PM). If the late check-in (and check-out) is not a problem for you, then this is a great apartment for a stay in New York.
