Jennifer, a very fun, warm, sweet lady greeted us at her shop across from her apartment. She walked us over, showed us around and headed out, assuring us she was minutes away if we needed anything.
The apartment is clean and nicely furnished. Very small but functional.
There are street views in front with regular hustle and bustle below but noise was not bothersome at all. We sat out on fire escape at dusk. Convertible sofa bed was cozy; some street light at night.
The rear view from bedroom is fairly expansive, lots of sky. There is a rooftop below that has large fans; personally, I found the white noise soothing.
One caveat: there was intermittent exhaust from the fans that could be bothersome to some who open windows and are sensitive to such things. Closing rear window fixed problem for us.
Jennifer keeps busy so texts may not be answered at millennial-speed but are answered in reasonable time.
Neighborhood is raw and vibrant. We miss Jennifer and her place already. We would definitely return.
