A perfect place to land if you have a family and need access to a kitchen and a quiet place to sleep, and some room to spread out.
Jose is a great host. He provided us with a new pack n play and a new highchair for the toddler. The beds were very comfortable and better still were the fresh cotton linens, hypo-allergenic duvets, and a basket on each bed with fresh towels, bottles of water and toiletries. With such well chosen beddings and loving details we were surprised that the overstuffed bed pillows were made of foam and too large to comfortably sleep. I would suggest you bring your own if you can, or that the pillows be upgraded to a synthetic, hypo-allergenic down alternative.
Another perc too our surprise was a fully equipped kitchen with condiments for cooking and fresh coffee beans and a grinder.
Jose responded to my request to not leave scented candles or incense oil wicks because we are sensitive to these. I appreciate that. But if you are sensitive to fragrances, be for warned that in the winter, when the windows are closed you will definitely experience a very strong residue from whatever is used for cleaning the apt.
The bedrooms are in the back of the apt on the lower level. It is quiet for sleeping and you do not hear any street noise. The surrounding area felt is safe enough, but was lacking in any decent restaurants. So be prepared to walk 15 minutes or more to find something a bit more upscale. Central Park is about 10-15 minute walk away with access to City bikes and a pond and walking trails.
We throughly enjoyed our stay overall.
