The area:
Very near to great food and Broadway. Very noisy even into late night. Walk to 44th & 8th for subway.
The building:
Pin code entry is great. We stayed in Apt 1 and it was up a flight of about 20 steps or so and it was a tight staircase so not the easiest with luggage.
The apartment:
It was clean very clean. Hand sanitizer available as you step in. The 2 bedrooms are spacious and plenty of space for clothing. Air conditioners in both bedrooms. Bedroom closest to door has a full bed and is very dark and quiet a night. Bedroom next to living room has queen bed and is very bright (bring an eye mask) and very noisy but the ear plugs available worked great. The towels were low quality and small - ask for more ahead of time or bring your own. The air conditioners worked great. Bathroom has a fan but if you leave it on longer than a few minutes it makes a terrible noise. Please recycle as the bins are very conveniently located on the same level. Big kitchen fully stocked with all you need to cook. Living room area is a futon, no tv. There is a long table mounted to wall with 4 barstools that serves as counter/workspace/etc.
The service:
The only downside for me is that I do not like anyone entering my space so I prefer to ask for towels as needed and keep my space clean. We had an issue with cleaning lady entering space and leaving our door opened and unattended after being specifically told not to enter and not to clean. This became an issue when she refused to accept that I didn't want her entering. It took talking to the owner, who was very nice and very understanding, to explain to the cleaner to just leave our apartment alone.
I would definitely stay there again, I would just post a note on the door to not enter/not clean, and I would bring my own towel and eye mask. If I could make one suggestion it would be to swap the beds - put the queen in the room by the door and the full in the room facing street. As a parent, it feels safer and most kids can sleep through the noise of the city, whereas adults need a bit more quiet.
