The apartment is in a good location, with access to subway and market within a block. The rooftop is nice for large groups and convenient location from the apartment itself.
The apartment itself is best suited for a couple or 2 ppl. The photos online for the sofa-bed is misleading as it’s a very small futon, maybe 4-5 ft long. So a small person/kid could stay in the living room if needed.
The apartment lacked the basic essentials upon arrival. We had no cups, paper towels, or towels for showering, nor sheets or blankets for the sofa bed. We needed to be on top of the super/manager to make sure we had the bare essentials to make our stay livable and get the most out of it. Communication with the owner Ellis was fine- communication with the super was spotty/scattered/confusing and delayed.
I wouldnt call the apartment luxury at all. It’s an ok- to nice apartment and if Ellis corrects the basic management of the apartment itself I would rate it higher. Maybe we dealt with the worst of this apartment and it will be corrected for future guests. It’s unfortunate since it could have been a great stay.
