We stayed here for a week and, overall, had a good experience. The biggest strength of this apartment is the location. It's in Midtown on a relatively quiet street, within easy walking distance of Grand Central Terminal and many of the attractions first-time visitors to New York want to see.My biggest advice to future guests is to manage your expectations. This is true Manhattan living, not hotel-style accommodations. In many ways, that's part of the adventure. If you've ever wondered what it's like to stay in an actual Manhattan apartment rather than a hotel, this provides a pretty authentic experience. The apartment is small, older, and somewhat worn, which was generally in line with our expectations for the price and location.There are a few maintenance issues that could use attention. The shower is VERY temperamental, & the kitchen faucet was broken during our stay.We had 4 adults in our group and made it work, but I would not count on the futon comfortably sleeping two adults. It's barely suitable for one person. To the hosts' credit, they promptly provided an inflatable mattress which helped considerably.Overall, I feel the hosts are doing the best they can with the space they have. If you're looking for a modern, spacious apartment with hotel-level conveniences, this probably isn't the right fit. If you're looking for a well-located home base and are interested in experiencing a slice of everyday Manhattan life, you'll likely enjoy your stay.
