I had a great experience in the apartment. Erin, Reka's roommate, made me feel welcome. She was there to recommend on restaurants, and in general she was very nice and always asked me about my day. The greatest thing about the apartment is that it is sunny. It is not necessarily the case in many apartments in Manhattan. The room was very nice, not too big but not too small. I had a private bathroom, which is great, and the view from the terrace was absolutely stunning. The neighborhood is nice, quiet and calm, and there are places to hang out that are near. The only thing that was a bit of a disappointment for me was the distance to the metro, about fifteen minutes by foot, which is a bit far to my taste.
