The apartment is spacious and comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen and 3 bedrooms and a pull-out sofa bed for our group of 7. It is close to the subway station and a short trip into downtown. I do not think it can accommodate 9 people, as advertised. We had 2 people drop out and I do not know how we would have managed if they had been with us. The host responded relatively quickly to our questions and the cleaners helped us find things when we first arrived. For light sleepers there is some noise from the AC as well as traffic noise outside. Overall our experience was positive.
