Kung was great at communicating with us and approved our room request right away, even though we sent it the day before our trip! What a lifesaver! We only got to meet briefly at check-in as he was about to go on a trip of his own, but he was delightful and made us feel very welcomed and we were always able to reach him thru the app with any questions/concerns. My daughter and I loved the location because it's right next to Champs Diner and around the corner from Dun-well Doughnuts, two of my daughter's favorite vegan eateries! We had breakfast at Champs before heading into the city each day, so convenient and delicious! The L train is also right around the corner and it's a fairly quick ride into Manhattan. We were able to get almost everywhere we wanted with only 1 train transfer (including to Yankee Stadium, the theater district and Greenwich Village). The apartment itself is very spacious! It's located on the 3rd floor. The stairs were a little hard for me at the end of the day, but I'm in my 60s now so I'm sure they would be fine for younger/ more athletic people. My 34yo daughter had no trouble with them. There is a very friendly cat named Squiggles that lives here. She sleeps a lot during the day, but sometimes "sings" during the night. It didn't bother us, but if you're a light sleeper maybe use ear plugs. Kung did make us aware of this before we arrived so it wasn't a surprise. The bed was big & comfy and Squiggles even came in to sleep with us for part of the night. (My daughter left the door open, hoping the cat would come in. You can leave the bedroom door shut if you want to keep her out). Kung's roommate was staying in the other bedroom during our stay. We barely saw each other, but she was very nice when we did. One of the only issues we had was it was pretty hot & stuffy the first night, but Kung asked us the next morning how our stay was and then told us how to operate the central fan/air so our 2nd night would be more comfortable. Also, the kitchen was pretty messy and the floors needed a good sweep, but like I said in the beginning, we booked the day before and Kung was going out of town so they probably thought they weren't going to have guests that week. It wasn't a big deal for us anyway. Overall, my daughter & I had a really great stay and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend. Thanks Kung (& Squiggles) for your hospitality!
