We were travelling as a couple with a five year old. Overall we enjoyed the stay at the apartment . Great location in a busy part of NYC. Fairly easy walk to many attractions such as Empire State Building, Maddison Square Garden, Rockerfella Centre, MOMA, Central Park, Bryant Street Holiday Market and easy access to subway.
The apartment is a basic, older style apartment but is warm comfortable and secure. Communal laundry is on a separate level with additional fee. Television is on the wall however not included in the price, this is an additional fee.
There are plenty of restaurants and take out food options close by , but if you're a family that intends on cooking your own meals the fresh food options in the immediate area are quite limited. There are good fresh food options if you walk a little further or catch the subway , such as 'Whole Foods Market' stores that are worth the trip .
Host was very quick to respond to any questions we had.
Overall apartment is basic, comfortable and has plenty of room with two bedroom, two bathrooms and we enjoyed our stay in a very central location .
