The location, large living space and having two separate bedrooms in NYC were all as described. The host was a great communicator and responded to all our questions (before and during) very promptly. Check in/out was easy. The apartment was very clean. The apartment looks like the photos, however we found the furnishings to be quite old and shabby and could use updating/painting - it is more college student furnishings than 'Village shabby chic'.
