We loved being in this apartment as a family of 4- the different levels and room separation gave us all privacy and individual space as well as great communal living area where we hung out, cooked and had meals at home. There is a lot of the host personal stuff around, tucked into every corner and every surface is covered. Would be great to have some items cleared away so less intrusive. Kitchen well equipped but also short on prep surface! We were allowed early check-in as the host was in the house, an unfortunate misunderstanding meant we arrived at 9am not 10 so meant a grumpy start to the host relationship! A few issues with plumbing and electrical- but considering upsides, not an issue for us.
For a New York stay, this place is great, full of personality and character and yes, we would return.
