Stayed here for a week with my husband early December. Self check in was easy. Apartment was sparkling clean and bigger than the photos which was a pleasant surprise. Extremely close to the subway (easy to pop back wbe you get tired!) Plenty of places to eat near by anything from fast food to whole foods. Short walking distance to central park. Jason is an amazing host with a lot of knowledge and gave us a lot of recommendations that were extremely useful. I would highly recommend.
