The appartment is exactly as shown in the pictures. We traveled as 5.
The check in was very easy, Barry texted me on the morning of our arrival with short videos explaining where to get the keys, how to deal with the AC, and the sono to put some music on!
The apparment is well equiped. You can easily buy food at the numerous grocestores around and cook. Or you can buy some take out or go at the many restaurants around.
We had a crazy weather (which was crazy for november), full sunny days for a week. We enjoyed the rooftop a lot! And what a view!!!
There are subways around the appartment that lead you to everywhere you want to go. Convenient.
The check out was also very easy. Our flight was at 530pm at JFK and the check out was at 10am. We were able to let our bags in the appartment until almost noon which saved us from walking with our suitcases.
I strongly recommend to buy earplugs, NYC never sleeps and gets a bit noisy.
Thanks again!
