This is a real New York apartment in a quiet neighborhood of Grameracy Park. It is only a couple of blocks from a nice walking path along the the East River and a block off of the M15 bus line which will take you easily up and down to a lot the major attractions. It was a little smaller than I understood from the description and pictures especially the shower and the bathroom sink but the water pressure was great and there was always enough hot water. I appreciate Airbnb because it allows you to see how other people live. Earl was great at communicating with us and making sure we had a good experience.
