We stayed with a family group of 8 including three generations. GREAT living room on main floor with tons of comfortable seating for hanging out together! Also nice large dining room table that could accommodate everyone. Bedrooms are on 2nd & 3rd floors -- one grandma was a bit challenged by the stairs to the 2nd floor but there is a sleeper sofa available on the main floor as an option, too. Room-based AC units kept things very cool as desired on main and 2nd floors, and acceptably cool on 3rd floor even in August heat wave. Good full-size washer and dryer in basement were provided with detergent during our visit. Number 6 subway down Lexington is only a couple of blocks away, and buses running up and down Madison were also convenient and only slightly farther. We had no issues with general "city noise". On a pleasant street -- enjoyed the fact that a neighbor or two frequently sat out on their front stoops in the day/evening and passers-by would stop to chat. Overall a very good experience and would definitely stay again.
