The apartment is very spacious and had great accommodations for our large group. We traveled with 7 adults (us plus our adult children and their significant others) and 1 toddler (our grandson). The home had a great amount of room for him to play, and he loved the rooftop. We took the subway into Manhattan daily and the station is very close, about 2 blocks from the apartment. The neighborhood did not feel unsafe or unwelcoming, we walked at all times of day and had no issues. The neighbors are very quiet, our grandson was lonely the nosiest guy in the building! The bathrooms were nice and in perfect working order, the showers were hot with good water pressure. The laundry facility came in very handy. There were tools and products available to clean up after yourself with ease. A great value for a stay in NYC, especially if you have a large group or family! Highly recommend!
