This was a wonderful place to stay. Let's start with the floor - it is, a believe a composite material that is faux wood - what I like is that it was not slick or cold. As I work out, this was definitely a plus - and there was sufficient space to do the work out. It is very well lighted, and the shower is a pleasure - one of those huge shower heads that feels like rain and a hand held one as well. The bed was quite comfortable, with sufficient pillows and a number of comforters for cold nights. The cooking surface was a glass-top range - when cooking, you have to be a little careful, because it holds heat quite awhile after you turn things down, but all that takes is awareness. A lot of kitchen pots and pans as well. They have a washer-dryer!!!! - a real plus when traveling, and I appreciated, too, the building's elevator. The furniture was . . OK, - plastic desk chair & the desk small. The immediate neighborhood is gritty and grey (but not dangerous in the least) and several blocks away is a really nice small square with places to eat. It's a wonderful place for a longer stay.
