As a family of four with two spmes 16 and 12 this was perfect for us. A perfectly functional 2 bed apartment in a great location. Only a short walk to Times Square but far enough away to be away from the madness of midtown. The immediate neighbourhood is excellent for diners, tale away food, restaurants and bars.
To be fair the apartment is very small and which was fine for us as we spent most of the time out. But if you want somewhere more spacious you would be better off looking out of Manhattan or be prepared to spend a lot more money.
Also I wouldn't say this was ideal for anyone with small children pr mobility issues. It's on the second floor with no elevator and fairly steep and uneven stairs.
There is a lot of street noise from the front bedroom which didn't bother us so much, but again if you want quiet, what are you doing in Manhattan? :)
The communication from the owners rep was great and the check in was pretty smooth.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a place to crash in a prime location in Manhattan.
