Jacqui is a great host. Alway quick to reply and very helpful with al types of information.
The apartment is big, spacious and kept very clean, but the layout of the apartment is not that good. We knew we had to share the kitchen and bathroom with another couple living next door, but found out that we also had to share the living room with the other couple. As we left early in the morning and came back late is was not a big deal but never the less a surprise.
As we only were to use the apartment as a place to sleep and shower it was important for us that these facilities was ok. Sadly they were not. As the rest of the apartment these were poorly maintained. There was almost no water pressure and the water could not get as hot as we wanted it to get. Jacqui told us that the it would be looked at quickly. We don't know if any one looked at it or not, but it did not get fixed. The other important thing for us was the bed. Our daughter had an airbed to sleep on and that was fine. We had discomfort of sleeping in the bed. That only happened two nights. The bed was terrible. You can feel all the springs and it is so worn that there is a big gap in the middle that we both rolled in to. The springs made noises every we moved. We actually woke each other up several times. So we ended up sleeping on the floor on a weird mattress that was in the office. It was a bit hard lying on the floor, but better than the bed. The rest of the apartment is poorly maintained. The pictures does not lie, but there is no way you can see how badly the over all state of the apartment is, by looking at the pictures. It is not just an authentic look, it is close to be worned out. It really needs some tlc and a professional contractor. Not just a quick fix here and there.
The location of the place is good. It is about 20 minutes to manhattan. We were driven to and from the airport, så we can not say anything about the trip to and from the airport. Be aware that you can only get a taxi by calling one, if you want to leave the apartment by taxi.
