Spacious and clean apartment more than adequate for us as a couple and two grown-up children. Kitchen, dining and living areas great for resting after long days sightseeing. The neighbourhood looks like it is "up and coming" but it felt perfectly safe to walk around. Upsides: space, decently-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, aircon in two of the bedrooms, excellent powerful shower with large head, location (close to subway for travelling to Manhattan). Checkin and checkout were fine, and Oscar and Johanna (Marietta's daughter and son-in-law) downstairs were friendly and attentive when needed. Downsides: We were disppointed on arrival as the pictures on the website are very misleading/inaccurate, as mentioned by several reviewers. On more detailed comparison between the pictures on airbnb and what we found: the outside door shown in kitchen pic is not there in the apartment rented, the cupboard shown in bathroom is not there, the main bedroom layout is different (different door location, the view out of the window on the website shows the garden gate – which is not actually visible at that angle from the apartment as rented – and does not show the fire escape or the aircon unit which ARE in the apartment rented). The listing says “Decorated with beautiful artwork and items collected in my travels.” which matches the photos but not reality. The dining/living room and main bedroom, in particular, are nowhere near as nicely furnished as the ones in the photos. All this make me think the pictures are actually of the downstairs apartment - maybe Marietta has switched which apartment is available for rent (e.g. some previous reviews refer to "M's son in law lives second floor" and another "We loved the 2 bedroom unit" whereas actually THIS apartment is on the second floor and has 3 bedrooms). Either way, in this case what you see is NOT quite what you get (as above, it was adequate as a space to stay, just not as nice as expected). There is a large stain of what looks like rust in the bottom of the bathtub which was a little off-putting but the in-tub mat at least means you don't have to stand directly on it. Wifi was a little patchy and connection dropped from time to time. Not a major issue though. Tips We arrived at Newark airport (EWR) and Uber was a cost-effective and reasonably quick way of getting to the apartment (for 4 people). If you are planning sightseeing around NYC a Metrocard (either the top-up version or a 7 day unlimited one) is worth getting. We ate at Borboncino and Aita, both a short walk from Franklin Av subway, and had good meals at both. If you have tired legs after a long day, the subway is an option as Kingston Av station is a short walk from the apartment and it's only 2 stops to Franklin Av station. Fine Fare supermarket round the corner has most everyday grocery items you are likely to need. 24 hour Rite...
