While the management company was great to work with, we unfortunately had some issues with the apartment itself, some entirely out of the management's control. Check in was a breeze and the young woman who met us was timely and pleasant and very helpful. The apartment at first glance looked fine, but when we arrived it was still being cleaned so we dropped our bags and left. When we returned to the apartment, it smelled of such strong curry we were unable to sleep. I'm not sure if someone cooked in the apartment before we came back, or if it was the neighbors, but we live in NYC and are used to smells and this was entirely unbareable. We left the next morning immediately because we didn't get much sleep. The stench also seeped into our clothes and bags. It was just awful. Something else to note about the apartment is that it's pretty dated. The kitchen cabinets are coming off the hinges, and the bathroom is in desperate need of a renovation. It was a gross bathroom, overall. It was as clean as it could get, but when there's moldy tile and a gross shower curtain and towels that are literally falling apart and have holes in them, it's time to update for your guests.
When I let the management company know we left, they said we should have called them and they would've moved us to a different apartment. We simply didn't have the patience or the time, as it was our vacation and one night had already been ruined. I'm sure they would've helped but we got a hotel instead, not wanting to risk another apartment like this one and quite frankly just wanting to get into a cleaner bathroom.
The plus is the location is perfect. Walking distance to everything. I would say if you are like my husband and I and love to shop for groceries locally and cook in the apartment, this place is not for you. And if you care at all about a nice bathroom at the end of a long day, I would look eslewhere. At the end of the day, we thought eating the cost of the apartment was worth it-we wouldn't have stayed there another night. The view from the apartment is lovely, and at the surface it was fine for what it was, but it just didn't work for us.
