The apartment was lovely and had everything we needed as a family staying in NYC for a week. It’s a bit far out for most of the tourist attractions; we used the subway to get downtown, I’d suggest using the western subway station, and then cabs on the way home when it was late at night. Subway single rides are only $3 per person and children travel free. Taxi fare ranged from $20-$40 depending on how far downtown we were.
