The apartment seems small at first (but then this is New York and I'm used to suburban living). We spent three weeks in the apartment and found it very livable. The kitchen allows for cooking not just warming of food so we were able to eat in for most meals. We were there when the coronavirus outbreak occurred and so spent a lot more time in the room than anticipated (I had medical appointments so we could not leave early). We found the apartment comfortable. All communications with the owner were answered within a reasonable time, she checked in with us during our time there just to be sure we were doing OK as well. The price was good and the apartment clean. It was also within walking distance of all the medical appointments. I am very happy with the experience that I had in the apartment. I would recommend that others bring a small white noise unit because the apartment is almost at ground floor and there is a bit of street noise (it is New York after all and even during a lock down there is still a lot of activity).
