We had a really good time in Vinneth's apartment.
We never got to meet Vinneth, as our arrival time changed because of the long lines at the Customs. Getting in the apartment wasn't still a problem, as Vinneth text messaged us information and location of a Lock box.
The communication was all the time really good and fast.
Internet was working all the time really well. We are big Formula 1 racing fans, so it was also a nice surprise that the apartment had cable and enough channels, so we could see the race. The neighbors were nice, didn't make any noise (hopefully neither did we).
In general the apartment was clean and functional.
It's quite easy to travel to Manhattan from there as Metro stations are rather close, just few blocks away.
I could easily see myself staying there, if (when) I came to NYC again.
