The apartment is beautiful with a high ceiling and mirrors, which kept it from seeming small. At the time of our visit we used the pullout bed from the couch, which left no other comfy seats available. The stairs to the loft bed were steep but not bad. The interesting art throughout the apartment was a treat. The kitchen is a one person at a time space, but is convenient for breakfast or quick meals. The location is fantastic and the nearness of the subway is a definite plus. For the location and price, it is a definite bargain. Maria was easy to contact and made sure all was taken care of for our stay.
