If you want to feel like you're living in NYC this is the place to stay! Its a great location in a residential area (chelsea) with dozens of restaurants and pubs in two block area. It is 2 blocks to the line 1 subway and 4 blockes to another station. We are older and had our 11 y/o grand daughter with us and felt safe the whole time we were there. The apartment is two bedrooms/two baths which is great for families or two couples. The apartment was very very clean. The kitchen is well equipped and there is a large TV in the living area. The beds are very comfortable. Like all cities there is some street noise but nothing that bohered us at night. the apartment building itself was very quiet. I recommend staying here for your trip to the Big Apple!
