Our stay in this apartment was very good. The common area around the table is larger than it appears in the photos, and there is comfortable room for at least four people, even while making meals or socializing. There was milk, juice, bread and bottled water waiting in the fridge for us. There were lots of towels, and unlimited hot water. Reliable internet connection. Plenty of street noise, of course, but well worth it for the location. We could be on Fifth Avenue in less than a minute walking, and a very good grocery a minute the other direction. I would stay here again without any hesitation and recommend it in particular to families with kids-three short blocks to the park, or serious shoppers- everything within walking distance.
