I was underwhelmed with the Magnificent Townhouse. The size of the place was great and had plenty of room for my family of 5 and our nanny, plus the location close to parks, museums, and subway were a huge plus. However the house shows signs of slipping standards and not the best cleaning. I have a pretty high bar for cleanliness so I don't expect every place to meet that bar. That said, more disturbing and less tolerable in my opinion were our encounters with mice in the kitchen. We were told this was the result of a prior guest not disposing of trash. While Peter, the property manager, was always super quick to respond and came by several times to try to remedy, we continued to have mice sightings and droppings throughout our stay. For me, this was unacceptable given the price and I don't necessarily agree that this just part of living in NYC. Unfortunately, we will look for other accommodations for our next stay.
