This apartment is located close to a metro stop but the area is not the most desirable. I was alone with my daughters and did not feel entirely safe getting back at night. (It’s also the last stop on the metro, so a good 40 mins to Manhattan). A little bit of paint and a bit of touch up would make the place less shabby and more chic.. Heating is controlled by the apartment above, so was quite cold at night, despite an electric heater in the little room. The communication from the owners was great, and they were very flexible with our check in and out requests. Overall we had a great week,
