We spent five nights here and were very pleased. It's exactly as described/pictured. The apartment and street were very quiet and the bed extremely comfortable. Plenty of space for two with a very efficient layout. The quiet garden was an important feature for us and we used it for breakfast and afternoon wine & cheese almost every day. We never actually met the hosts but the lock-box check-in was a breeze and they responded to texts very quickly. They have three (!) air-conditioners. We only used one and it was plenty to keep the apartment cool on hot days. There are heated floors (!) so I'm sure it would be comfortable during cold weather. The location is great; close to grocery, wine & deli and the 125th subway station. We used the NY subway multiple times every day and found it reliable, simple and safe. Compared to other Manhattan BNBs and hotels this apartment represents excellent value and we would definitely return.
