Giselle is very warm, welcoming and easy going. She let us check in early and check out late with no issue at all. During the stay, she fully respected our privacy and kept the flat clean and tidy. She was excellent in all communication and always willing to help. The flat looks as in the photos, is very cosy, well equipped and has a touch of local life. You know you are in New York as soon as you step into the flat.
The location is decent, taking around 20' to midtown and 30' to downtown by Uber. Using subway probably adds 10' to journey time compared to Uber.
The only thing I would like to note to future bookers is that the building is in my view, old, lousy and smelly. The flat is on the third floor so it is a bit of a trek with luggage too. So if you don't mind all of that then this is definitely the place for you.
