The flat was a typical small NY garret flat, compressed, air conditioned, small kitchen and bathroom, perfectly adequate for a short city visit. Don't come heavily laden with baggage, as advertised it's at the top of 84 stairs. Watch the fridge which is temperamental; cheap laundries nearby, no washer or drier (common in city flats)
Cursory introduction about flat and city, but friendly. Available at odd hours when fridge stopped working. Excellent central location, safe neighborhood, 5 blocks from Metro.
Good value for NY, opportunity to experience life as a resident New Yorker lives.
Three and a half stars!
