The apartment was as advertised and met our expectations. We were a family of 5- 2 parents and 3 grade school children. Between the beds and sofa, we had enough room. The apartment is long and narrow with the bedrooms on the opposite ends, which gives a sense of some privacy. Street noise could be heard in the one bedroom, but we feels it comes with the territory of an apartment in the middle of Hell's Kitchen. Groceries, breakfast places, pizza and bars were all found within 2-3 minutes of walking. Check in and check out were easy. The apartment building was quiet and felt safe. The surrounding neighborhood also felt safe. We had a great NYC experience and this apartment was definitely part of it.
