Great, affordable place for our family of 5. Super close to Central Park and subway stations. Had everything we needed. We did loose heat and hot water for a day (building issue), but there were plenty of extra blankets. Never felt unsafe to n the neighborhood or building. We didn’t come and go a lot, so hiking up the stairs was never a big issue. The floors in the apartment are sloped, which was a little dizzying at first, but wasn’t a huge deal.
