We found the apartment very welcoming. The lay out was perfect for our small family. The kitchen definitely had everything you would need. The proximity to restaurants and the subway is perfect. There is a grocery store a block and half away. We also found the guys at the front desk to be super helpful and very pleasant. Definitely one of the better places we have stayed for a very reasonable price. Also the the area were the apartment is located we found to be very quit and felt very safe even late in the evening.
