The appartment is very beatiful and spaceous, with a little balcony which is a real asset, for having lunch, dinner or just sitting out and watching people. The neighborhood is very lifely and there is a lot going on down on the street. The location of the appartment is very convenient: The 6-Metro Line is just at the corner, and central park is three blocks away. The area is safe at any time of the day or night. There are double windows that shields the bedrooms from street noise so you can sleep perfectly well. I can very much recommend this appartment for a stay in New York with kids.
