Overall, it was a great stay, especially for its privacy and location. The apartment is very spacious for both New York City standards and everywhere.
The only issues I have with the apartment are the pest control and the air vent. Perhaps since the apartment is in the basement, there were quite a few waterbugs and roaches coming into the apartment. Even though pest control had come to spray the apartment, it didn't prevent the roaches from coming in. We have seen and caught quite a few roaches around the apartment, mainly in the bathroom area.
The air vent in the kitchen is very weak. It generates a lot of smoke whenever we cook in the kitchen. Even with the door open, it takes a while for the smoke to disappear. But I do understand this is a very common new york city problem.
I do thank Gisele for being very responsive. Overall, we had a lovely time at the apartment.
