The location is really the most important thing in NY, and this apartment was perfect for that. It’s on ground floor, so be mindful that it’s a loud flat with cars blasting music late at night. We got used to it after about a week though, but if you’re older or sensitive then it’s worth considering. The flat is old but has character, and when things broke, Benjasmin fixed it immediately. The bins are right outside the window which was a little bit of a problem (smell-wise) during the height of summer but wouldn’t be a problem otherwise.
The hosts are very communicative, helpful and flexible, which made the stay easy. As I mentioned earlier, the location really is awesome. 5 mins to M/J train and 10 mins to L train. I’d recommend this place for a longer stay where location is key. After nearly 3 months here we were sad to leave our little flat in Los Sures.
