I am torn in writing this review. We are a family with 3 adult daughters. The place was as advertised in terms of location, size, convenience to public transport. But here is where things get a bit different from expectations:
1) the only way up to the 5th floor was through an elevator that exists to the sidewalk. you need a key to access the elevator. No problem there. But we were given only one set of keys for 5 people, which means that if you don't come back together, someone always has to take the elevator down from apartment level to let the next person in.
2) not enough towels. Only 3 were left
3) we had problems with the heat. This is a building wide issue, so not really the responsibility of the homeowner. However, when the heat was on the master bedroom gets insanely hot, forcing us to open windows, which means you can hear the subway passing on the Williamsburg bridge.
4) There were two bathrooms. The shower in one of the bathrooms did not work.
5) The cleaning lady came in at 8:30 a.m on day of checkout (checkout was listed as 11 am). We all had to shower and finish packing while the cleaning lady was there. This occurred on instruction from the homeowner because she was going to need the apartment that day.
