We would highly recommend this place. It absolutely lives up to the description of 'spacious'; we were one large family party but it could comfortably sleep 3 couples, with the downstairs sofa bed as extra sleeping space for kids. We were new to New York but loved how easy it was to get into Manhattan, the subway only being a few blocks away. Claire was helpful and available to deal with queries. The stairs are very steep though, so possibly not ideal with small kids.
