This apartment is the ground floor of a family home, with the family above, and shared access to the garden. It is on a quiet street and is a good location for exploring NYC. It is newly renovated, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The host was helpful with accommodating our check-in/out times and luggage. Note that at our time of stay, the neighboring house was under construction (common in NYC). If construction noise at 7am will bother you, then do inquire to see when construction is scheduled.
