The apartment is a very good value in an excellent location in spite of a few concerns about space for suitcases and the cleanliness of the corners. The description is very accurate aside from the fact that there are six steps outdoors to reach the first floor. There is almost no daylight in the living/dining room, but the area is well-lighted. The apartment is well equipped with kitchen utensils, soaps, towels, and paper products. The mattress on the lower bunk is somewhat broken down, probably troublesome only to those with bad backs. It is an easy walk to subway and bus stops, as well as two amazing Westside Markets and many restaurants. We felt very safe in the neighborhood even when we returned late after seeing a show.
