Sean was a perfect host, and the apartment is perhaps even better than it appears in the pictures. It is clean and lived by two/three persons maximum. The room is large and sunny.
This is also a good place to study: quite and very close to a subway station (connecting to everywhere here in NY). As the rest of the apartment, the kitchen is new and well equipped, though you don't have to look for small pots & pans... They are huge and perfect when you cook for 3/4 persons, slightly less comfortable if you cook just for yourself.
Overall, an excellent place to live for a month or longer in NY.
