The area is great and safe and it's easy to get to places and all the boroughs. Shops, restaurants and bars nearby. Gotta love the brick wall :)
Communication with Tara was easy - she was very friendly, answered quickly and also let me change the dates to an earlier check-out date which helped me out a lot. Unfortunately the apartment was smaller than expected (but it's also Manhattan). For me there wasn't enough room to store all my personal belongings (especially for a long term rental). The apartment is cozy, however, could be cleaner and maintained better but Tara addressed the issues and also offered to send a cleaning person again. She even gave me a refund for the inconvenience. Over all I enjoyed my stay in Tara's place.
