My friend and I enjoyed staying at Illais’ pad. He arranged in advance to leave keys in a safe space for us, which made checking in at our convenience very easy.
The bedroom and bathroom were clean; we didn’t spend much time in the apartment other than to sleep and didn’t make use of any other amenities.
The only element that was less than 5* (and is still a perfectly good 4/5) - the second bed was actually an air mattress stacked on top of two mattresses, there was no bed frame. I myself enjoyed a very comfortable nights sleep on the ‘proper’ bed but my companion wasn’t quite so comfortable on the air bed.
Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. Convenient location near to transport links - whilst at a very affordable rate. If we return to New York we will look up this room again and I hope that Illais will be happy to have us!
