Absolute superb location with the subway right across the street. Right next to a drug store and great dining. Easy and quick access to Broadway, the Met, and major museums. We honestly could not have had a better time, even though one of our shows was canceled due to COVID.
We were a family with 2 adult kids (21 & 17) who each at their own space, but the space is very small—which is typical in NYC. We didn’t spend too much time in the apartment, so it wasn’t a problem to us.
A few details:
Furnishings are very low-quality. Some things were in disrepair—the ceiling had a leak just before we showed up (from the apt upstairs) so an unsightly duct-taped garbage bag covered it up. One set of blinds in a bedroom had no cord to raise/lower, the faucets are loose feel like they are falling apart.
None of that is really the point in staying here, so it is more of an FYI than a problem to me.
The owner was very responsive, (for example, the coffee maker died and it was replaced that same day), checkin/out was super easy. I told the owner about the points in this review, so I’m sure these things will be taken care of soon if my experience with them is consistent.
If I was coming to NYC again on holiday, I would not hesitate to book it again, if it was available.
One tip—the main bedroom has a radiator that makes all kinds of random clicks and knocks. Bring earplugs if it might bother you! After the first night, I didn’t notice but my wife slept better with earplugs.
