Spotlessly clean and in a great location, this apartment far surpassed our expectations. First and foremost (for us), the place is amazingly quiet for Manhattan. During our two-month stay, we rarely heard a sound from neighbors, and street noise is minimal, in part because there are no restaurants or bars on the block. The kitchen is well equipped and the washer/dryer in the apartment is a luxury for Manhattan. Public transport is easy and convenient. A crosstown bus stop is a short block away and that bus line has free transfers to all uptown/downtown buses and subways. Finally, Chin is truly a super host who responds quickly to inquiries. We look forward to returning.
