This apartment was perfect for our family of 4. We found the neighborhood to be quiet and very close to public transit. Our host greeted us as we arrived and his home was well appointed, with the greatest blue carpet in the history of blue carpets! Your feet will thank you after a long day of walking around NYC attractions.
As a side note:
This was our first trip to NYC and we were apprehensive about the stereotypical harshness of NYC residents. We found that apprehension to be completely unfounded. In fact, we experienced nothing by great hospitality and friendliness of every local that we encountered. Everything from the subway to the tourist attractions were delightful experiences.
