We stayed at Devon's apartment for almost three weeks and enjoyed our stay there. The apartment is spacious, clean, minimal, and provides a lot of space for us to move around and our stuff since we did some holiday shopping.
Checking in was really convenient. We arrived almost midnight, and was able to get in immediately. Just make sure to contact Devon ahead of time what time you are arriving.
The location of the apartment is great! its located at the heart of the city - but in the quiet, residential area. There are a lot of convenience store, groceries, good restaurants around - so getting something to eat is a breezy! The nearest subway is around 10mins walk, and if this is your first time in New York, you’ll be surprised how all the must-see’s are in close proximity to the area!
Though there is no actual bed frame in the apartment, the comfortable bed mattress made up for that. The kitchen and bathroom are of decent size and had their proper designated areas. The only concern I had with the apartment was that I am a light sleeper, and I can hear the noise outside. Good thing we brought our earplugs with us, so make sure you do too if this is something that bothers you. But we got used to it after a while, since we are almost, always exhausted when we get back in the apartment. Another thing is that there is no proper dining area or table, so you have to find a proper place to put your plates when you plan to eat inside.
Overall, the apartment is great, functional, and spacious. This was my second time in New York, and I must say, we had a great time staying there :)
