Aron and his wonderful family were friendly and helpful hosts. They even provided a little table and chairs that our 3-year-old loved using to play and eat on. The description and pictures accurately describe the apartment. It was so great to have the space of the two-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen for our family rather than being cramped in a small hotel. The layout is fantastic with one bedroom at the front and the other in back with the kitchen/living room in between. It provided a lot of privacy so that the baby in our room didn't wake up our 3-year-old in the other room (and vice versa). Enjoyed the very plush towels! Fair amount of noise during the day from the park/playground directly next door (although we largely found the playground to provide a pleasant background noise ). VERY quiet at night. The neighborhood was fantastic. Quiet and family orientated. One block to a nice grocery store. Our 3-year-old enjoyed exploring the toys/books provided in the apartment and he loved the playground next door. He was sad to leave "our NYC apartment." We were somewhat worried about on-street parking but generally found it not be an issue. We twice got a spot directly across the street and twice had to spend a few minutes hunting for a spot. But we never ended up more than a block away (and we were driving a minivan so had to pass up some smaller spots). Also, the street out front doesn't have too much traffic so when necessary didn't seem to be a problem to double-park for a short time to unload and then find a spot to park.
