Very good for the $
Great place and location for the price. Friendly staff, very clean. Bedroom could use a fan because the AC wasn’t great, made sleep a bit uncomfortable.

Good locatio
The property was ideally located, within walking distance of the things we wanted to see. The unit was clean and as shown in the description. Unfortunately, the neighborhood was very loud at night, as was the HVAC unit.

I'd probably stay again
Nice apartment style living, full kitchen. Good location to interesting sites, subway, dining, entertainment.
Oddly placed light switches, lots of street noise from 10 pm to 1 am...but ear plugs are provided.
Property delayed my check in time, irritating since they offered early check-in for an upcharge...but no reciprocal refund for their delay.

There was a slight problem with our room when we checked in but the reception clerk found us a new one in minutes and so no harm done in the end.

The HVAC unit in our room was very loud and sounded like a jet engine. It was fairly startling whenever it kicked on. Otherwise, a generally comfortable stay.
