A lovely apartment in a cool location, where you can pretend that you live in New York. Perfect for a family stay. We travelled with our two teenage boys and the amount of space, comfort and independence we got compared to a hotel was brilliant. The basement room with a projector for Netflix was well used! And the outdoor terrace for reading. Local restaurants mean that you don't have to spend all your time in Manhattan. We walked to and from the subway many times day and night without incident so I wouldn't say it was a sketchy area as some have said. It is a real area where real people live. We loved it.
