Devon's apartment is in a great location near Central Park and a lot of cute shops and eateries. It was also 3 minute walk to subway and the area felt very safe. The guest room is in lower level with plenty of room, half bath, strong internet connection, and air conditioner. Shower had plenty of hot water and good pressure. There are steps up into the building and steps down to the lower level apartment which were difficult with my very heavy luggage, but would be fine with lighter bags. Devon was away while I was there, and her friend had to get me a key. Specific planning ahead for receiving the key would have been helpful for when I arrived at the train station as I did not know where to locate the key if I had gone straight to the apartment as planned. However, I was able to get the key and meet Devon's friend later, so it all worked out. Alex (the friend) stayed at the apartment during my visit and was very nice.
