I'll start with the Pros...Anya & Marco were great hosts! Attentive, easy to communicate with and overall great hosts. The apartment is as described and was overall clean, and quiet....it was also fully equipped which was nice.
The Cons: Unfortunately, the unit is directly below a day care and the kids are let out periodically throughout the day starting at 8am. Since the daycare is nestled in between concrete buildings the sound is amplified. And these kids scream...like just ate a tub of sugar kind of screaming...and it's LOUD!
The neighborhood was okay, being a former manhattanite I prefer living downtown. I didn't think it would be so bad but there's really nothing of interest up there aside from the cloisters and it took quite a bit of time to get downtown. There is an express A train right there but still...a bit of a buzz kill.
Overall though I would recommend others to stay if they don't mind the uptown locale.
