If you want to live like a local on your visit to NYC, this is the place for you. The apartment is spacious, sunny, and clean - and looks just like the pictures. Katarina is a very welcoming and friendly host, and took the time to recommend nearby grocery stores to me and explain how to get to the nearest subway stations. If you don't mind a bit of a commute into midtown, this place works great. I myself prefer to stay out of the busiest areas of New York anyway. It's also just a few subway stops away from Williamsburg, a really hip area with lots of cute cafes and restaurants. Things to keep in mind: use the blackout curtains, because there's an industrial light right outside the window at night, and the sun also directly hits the bedroom when it rises. Also, it can be a bit noisy at night with all the trucks that pass by. It's also very hot and humid in the apartment in the summer, but there's a window unit for AC and a standing fan to help circulate the cool air.
