The apartment was sparkling clean, it was easy to get in, and was just as advertised. It's also great value for your money. The only trouble we had was that although we loved the park view location, there was quite a bit of partying that went on at night and it was very very loud, making it realyl difficult to sleep. I realize this is NY, the city that never sleeps, but is something to keep in mind if you are with young children (as we were). But the place itself was great, with great value!
