The pictures were an accurate reflection of the place. It was actually much bigger than I expected. I appreciate the many large windows (even though it gets too bright for me personally even with the curtains), AC units, separate kitchen, mounted TV, and large bedroom and living room even with all the furniture in it already. It's a homely, nicely decorated place with many different places to store your stuff. The place is conveniently located to the park, a subway station, multiple markets, laundromats, and restaurants. The building itself is average in that you can find nicer, more secure buildings but no problems here. It does have an older style elevator. Noise doesn't bother me, but you can hear the street noise if you are sensitive to "NY street sounds (people, music, etc.)" The host is super easy to work with and really nice. If I had any questions, he was responsive to address them. Overall, I would recommend this place and really enjoyed being here to explore the area.
