We really liked staying in this apartment. Our family of five found it much more comfortable than hotel rooms. Having a living area, full kitchen, and dining table made it possible to spread out and not be on top of each other. We actually wanted to hang out in the apartment! Having two bathrooms was certainly a treat.
I slept in the queen bed and found it to be very comfortable. My children offered nothing negative about the bunk beds or even the couch (which is definitely large enough to serve as a bed).
The doormen were all quite friendly and getting in and out was easy. The area was safe and we felt completely fine walking around at night. Everything you need or want is nearby: restaurants, grocery, pharmacy, coffee, AMC movie theater, and even a Farmer's Market on Sunday. The closest subway stop is a few long blocks away and the line did not service later in the evenings. A ferry terminal is very close and even though we did not use it for transportation, it was fun to ride.
The host was a very good communicator. Questions were answered quickly and always to our advantage. We will definitely consider staying in this apartment again for future trips to NYC.
