We loved our stay here! The steps were steep - which Beth was very honest about, but the ambiance of the apartment is awesome, the shower is amazing, the A/C worked really well (it was 100 degrees outside while we were there), and we didn't even really have any street noise - the beds were super comfy according to our whole group! And the location was great, it was a super easy 5 min walk to the M and J trains - which will take you into the heart of Manhattan. And there are 2 corner stores at the end of the block, go to the Bagels one, they're super friendly and have basic supplies like milk, and of course, good bagels.
