Our small film cast and crew (about 7 people) stayed here for over a week in December of 2011. It was a perfect location for us to spread out and feel at home. Transportation to other parts of Manhattan was very easy via subway and cab or car service. Robin had a binder full of great recommendations for food and things to do in the neighborhood and we took advantage of the kitchen and the takeout options in the area. Two of us were older people in their 80s and this was a great building for them to stay in because the elevator made it accessible. Spacious, comfortable, relaxing, lots of sunlight in the afternoon, many different beds and fold-out couch sleeping options. Only tough part for a group this big was that the walls aren't floor to ceiling in all the rooms so you have to work out some quiet hours. Overall, a great place to stay and we would do it again.
