Overall we had a good stay here. Isa was really helpful before we arrived and responded to messages very quickly. She kindly allowed us to check in early, and on check out day we were able to leave our bags for the day whilst we explored the city. Also offered very prompt help for us with a couple of issues we had during our stay.
Place offered great value when compared to Manhattan hotels (which are extortionate!). Just be prepared to travel a bit into the city which does eat into your time a bit if you’re only staying for a few days. But that’s the trade off with value for money I suppose!
The apartment is basic, but very big and spacious with a good shower.
Good little kitchen with a toaster/oven, microwave and kettle, very handy for having breakfast. Good supermarkets nearby too.
Does mention that tall people might struggle, I’m 6 foot 3” and I would say that is the limit. Ceilings low in parts but there where bits where I could stand. Bed was just about long enough!
You can hear the owners walking around a bit upstairs so bear that in mind if you’re a light sleeper, we heard this from 6am a couple of mornings but we were getting up soon after then anyway.
The streets around Maple Street did seem quite rough with a few dodgy characters around, but we walked back a few nights around midnight from the metro and were fine.
Overall, for value for money and responsiveness and help from the host I would recommend. A few small upgrades and modernisation could make the place even better, but this was a great base for us for our amazing few days in New York!
