The apartment is very well furnished and super clean. It is a fun, pleasant place to be, which is not typical of most basements! It is very brightly lit, and the windows let in a nice amount sunlight; this is not the typically gloomy basement apartment.
The bathroom was well stocked.
The neighborhood is pleasant with shopping/restaraunts about a half mile away (15 minute walk or less for most). The subway is about a mile away. Busses into Manhattan run from closer if you prefer that. (I am a subway fan). I was very surprised at how easy it was to drive into the city during my August 2022 stay. I suspect traffic is still off from pre-pandemic times.
Street parking can be found nearby, but you will have to hunt for a while and most likely walk a few blocks to get back, so depending on your comfort wit that, you might want to get the parking add-on to the reservation.
Orit is a kind and communicative host. I wish we had had had more time in our somewhat busy schedule to chat.
The place is great. I highly recommend it!
