We were traveling as a family to NYC because I was running the marathon. This place was great, with plenty of space for our group, which included kids. The apartment is kid friendly, with toys and kid-friendly decor (and a washer and dryer!), but is also comfortable and nice for the adults (not totally kidded out). We had a crazy time getting there with problems with flights, and the bottle of wine Marie left was a life saver when we finally got in around midnight. Marie responded promptly to our communications, and there are a bunch of reviews and recommendations by the front door which helped as we had never stayed in this neighborhood before. The subway has 2 nearby stops - one is walking distance but isn't express, the other (especially with little kids and rain) is more of an uber or cab ride but has the express train. It was super easy to get to museums and the marathon activities. We loved this place and would definitely stay here again.
