The apartment is geographically well located, and its main floor is very functional and clean. Families with children should be aware that the entrance to the building is within 3 feet of the street, and so pickups and drop offs with luggage can be challenging. Once inside the door, however, the courtyard and elevator provide good access to the apartment. Guests should also be aware that one must unlock a door that opens onto essentially a fire escape like space before unlocking another door into the apartment itself. Again, with luggage and kids, this can be challenging. The outdoor space is not a private terrace, unfortunately, and cannot really be enjoyed as a place to sit - there are skylights in the middle, and a narrow path around, with other apartments backing up to this light well area. Adventurous kids could get into trouble in this area, and so we prohibited ours from going out there. Overall, we had an acceptable stay, and the rate for our family was materially less than staying in a hotel. However, the property description was more flowery than the reality of the place, with the main issues being the challenging access from the street up into the apartment, and the lack of useable outdoor space despite the description and photography. This property is still a good value overall, but did not quite meet our expectations.
