LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! Especially for those comfortable using the NYC subways... the Lexington stop is steps away and the neighborhood is great and easily accessible. The space is exactly as described and exceptionally clean! The beds were comfortable too and there were plenty of towels (really nice touch!), extra pillows and bedding readily available. The second bedroom is small and our 15 year old son who is 6'3" could not fully stretch out on the twin bed without his head and feet touching the opposite walls but hey... it's NYC and space is limited besides it's FAR more preferable as parents to have your kid (s) in their own bedrooms while on vacation! The bathroom was small but adequate with all the amenities and again, exceptionally clean! The Toto toilet with the seat warmer and all the bells and whistles was a great touch too. The living area is really cute and comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped with coffee pot, full size refrigerator and microwave. The wifi worked great too!
Some food for thought.... if you have trouble climbing stairs, think before you book. While it's technically a second floor walk up apartment, it's actually more like the third floor since the restaurant downstairs is two stories and the apartment is above. The staircase is very narrow, uneven and steep in places but truly okay. Just don't expect to go up only one flight of steps to get to the apartment. Also, it's on a major street in Manhattan so you will hear the road noise all night long. The owner is awesome to stock ear plugs but I bought some others that were more comfortable - you will definitely want ear plugs unless you are used to traffic noise, trucks and honking all night long. We had an issue with not being able to control the thermostat and the apartment was very warm with the heat running continuously, however, we were able to easily open windows to help cool everything off and with our doors closed at night, it was a comfortably temperature to sleep.
Overall, a really great city experience and super clean and comfortable place to stay too!
