The apartment is very stylish, in an historic row house (bottom floor). The main bedroom is very large with the second bedroom a lot smaller in the back part of the house; however this was fine for us and our two young sons. The kitchen is well equipt and the bathroom has lovely shampoo/conditioner/body wash (the kind you'd find in hotels); making it even more stylish! The restaurant recommendations were spot on and we can also vouch for the awesome ice cream around the corner at Lady Moo Moo. Great value for money if you want to say in New York without the Manhattan price tag (it is about a 10min walk to the subway and 30min ride in, depending on where you want to get off in Manhattan). There is a supermarket within a 10min walk or corner stores for the basics 1-2min away. Given the fact you are at the bottom of a row house, you can hear people above, but this wasn't a problem for us and there wasn't any late noise either. The surrounding area is nice, but it is still an up and coming suburb.
