My wife, teenage kids and I enjoyed this authentic NYC apartment for a week. The neighborhood was safe with lots of food options. Multiple subway lines nearby made it easy for all 5 of us to travel to see the sites of NYC. The apartment was clean and ready for our stay. Keep in mind that sleeping on the couch and air mattress might be needed depending on the size of your party. I loved the patio for morning coffee and many TV options if you stay in for the day. The apartment was amazingly quiet for a busy neighborhood! You should include this spacious apartment in your housing hunt.
