I wanted a place for our family of 4 to stay in downtown Manhattan, without being squeezed into one small hotel room, or having to pay for 2 separate rooms. This rental fit the bill exactly. The King size in the master is really comfortable, the room is large enough for a family of 4 over packers, and the 2 twins are a day bed with comfortable mattresses, versus a pull out sofa - which my teen girls appreciated. The location to walking around Chelsea, the High Line and easy subway access was ideal, even for late night runs to Joe's pizza in the village. The apartment has big has windows at the front and the back, so it didn't feel dark and we never felt unsafe. You're not getting a fancy hotel with big windows overlooking the city (which at first my girls were expecting) , but you will get a taste of being in a NYC neighborhood and away from the crowds of times square.
