Aimee's apartment was cosy and well located in Queens. For people travelling without young children it is perfect. For a family with young children it is not. The apartment is a semi-detached has limited access through the front door - there is a side gate to allow rear access but it is locked.
As the MAIN sleeping bed/area is in the front it means that if you put your child down to sleep there you remain limited to the rear of the house, where the living room and kitchen area. This is difficult for a couple when the common situation arises where one parent would go out to get food and the other remains with the sleeping child was not possible - the side access was locked but the rental of the Apartment for some reason does not include that. We requested the key but were denied implying we were not capable of locking a gate behind us. This meant free access to come and go from the apartment to get food or in the evenings was often not possible. This greatly hampered our enjoyment and stay. So I will repeat, the apartment is very nice and well located, but it is not suitable for a young couple with a child (that does not co-sleep with parents). If the access to the side was to be provided with the apartment, as it should be in the same way access to the front door is, then this would have been ideal. We also dont recommend if you do want privacy and have another person staying in the pull out couch.
