Michael’s space is just as advertised. It’s a 150 year old building, so expect some “character” in the form of some creaks in the floors and steam heat. However, the apartment is super cozy. Even on the cold days, the temperature was just right throughout the space, which isn’t always easy with radiators.
For traveling with two kids, it was ideal for us, given the separate daybed and trundle-style beds in the living space + the bedroom. There was also hanging space for clothes and a comfy sofa and chairs where the kids liked to sit and read in the morning after waking up.
The proprietors were extremely friendly and accommodating, and the food downstairs was very good.
This is a great location to stay for a Broadway theatre show/Times Square, or to the Intrepid Air Sea & Space Museum. Only downside on location is the subway, which is a bit of a hike.
If you need some breakfast, visit the little deli two doors down on 11th. They make good sandwiches, and even cook up fresh pancakes, french toast, etc. that you can take back to the apartment. There are dishes, flatware, etc. available to use, as well as a (small) dining table.
We enjoyed our stay very much!
