My family of 6 and I absolutely loved the place. The bedrooms were large and we all had our private bathrooms as well. The living area and kitchen were also very spacious. The host was very responsive. However, two of the bedrooms did not have curtains on all of their windows, which is a privacy as well as security issue. We were forced to change in the bathroom, which is not always desirable. Also, there were houses on the other side of the street so anyone could easily see inside the bedrooms.
Although we knew about the distance when we booked the apartment, we weren't very big fans of the area. It was all residential with nothing much exciting around. It was safe, for sure. But we would have liked to be in a more lively neighborhood. Union square was about 30 mins in Uber.
Overall, I'd recommend this apartment. I'd just check with the host about the curtains and make sure you don't mind the area.
