This apartment was really great for our family of 6. Ravanna was very kind about our arrival time that kept slipping, and the flat had everything we needed - comfortable beds and a small kitchen and bathroom, everything very clean. The house was about a 10 min walk from the metro and we could get a fast train into the city from there without any problems. The local streets had plenty of deli's and supermarkets and seemed perfectly safe, though we were not out late as we had the kids with us. This is a great place to stay for a few days in New York, I would recommend it and return if I ever visited New York again.
