First and foremost, the apartment was very big and spacious. It comfortably sleeps 5 people.

The location is on the 1 train which can be a little slow, but the apartment is about a block and a half away from the stop, so if you time everything right (taking the express train to 96th street, and then switching to the 1) getting down to lower Manhattan is a breeze.

The apartment came with a cat (we love cats). At this time however, the cat was sick or had just come off surgery. Because of this we had some issues with the cat peeing on stuff around the apartment. It was very frustrating. This development was a surprise to Igor and he went ahead and quickly gave us a significant reimbursement.

Check and see if the cat is good. If it is and you like the location, stay here, it is huge and nice for a New York apartment (plus an affordable stay).
