If you have a small child and are visiting the city for the first time this place is perfect - it's in a relaxed area of the city and the apartment itself is safe, comfortable and secure. It's very easy to get to Manhattan on the subway. We felt really at ease and it made the holiday really enjoyable because we didn't have to worry about where we were staying. There are loads of fun and exciting places to eat near by which are child friendly and local shops for food shopping. Had to call Tony for a minor non-urgent issue one time - he was really friendly and sent someone over to give us a hand within the hour.
