This is a great place for families with young children! Helen was a very sweet and responsive host. The toys and books kept our daughter occupied while we had down time in the apartment. It is also in close walking distance to the park and a few different playgrounds. The neighborhood is safe and has a handful of restaurants and bars to choose from. It is also very close to the subway, Walgreens and a grocery store which was very convenient! The only downside was the dated tv-we could not get all the cable channels or the DVD player to work which really was not a big problem for us. There was also no longer a toddler bed available. Overall it was a clean apartment in a great location!
