We stayed at Kostas Apartment in late January 2020, was very warm and cozy. We didnt met Kostas, but he dropped us texts if we needed him. It is in a basement space under his parents house, with its own access. Considering there wasn't much natural light, it didn't feel at all like a basement apartment. lovely spacious kitchen & sitting area. Kitchen had lots of pots, pans, plates & cups. Enough to cook some great dinners or breakfast. Kitchen had tea, coffee & condiments which always helps when you are on a budget. Bed was comfy, clean and the bathroom had a nice shower. The parents live upstairs and his mum is lovely! Mom does the check in and she took time too show us around and answer our local amenity questions. The parents left us alone for the rest of the stay, but if we needed anything then they where just upstairs to ask. Nice affordable place to stay and much more affordable then central Manhatten. It dosn't take long to get into Manhattan on the subway, although the walk from the subway to the apartment was abit further than i would of liked. (brisk 15 mins) Overall, a great place to stay. Thanks
