We spent 5 nights in the hotel. Everything was perfect. The location near a subway station. The breakfast was really good and a special thank you to Annette ( the very nice lady at the breakfast) who was super nice with us and our daughter. She made the 10/10 !

We liked the quiet neighborhood and the "local feel" of staying in an apartment. We walked to Little Italy for dinner. The train stations and bus stops were close by to get into the city easily. We were blessed with large jars of treats!

We got a room with partial river view on 15th floor, which was almost like a full view. The location was right next to the river. Safe luggage storage after checkout was a big plus as we had our departure flight in the evening and were able to store the luggage at hotel and spend our time sightseeing. The bed was comfy and the WiFi connection was good.

Everything about this was perfect. The cute little apartment was very clean and comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen so we were able to have breakfast in and save a few quid! The location was in a quiet and safe neighbourhood with very simple and affordable access to the city. Probably my favourite stay throughout my travels around the states thus far. The owner was very easy to contact and very helpful in regard to any questions or queries we had or any help we needed while we were there.

Great deal! Excellent location, great room with everything you could ask for, including washing machine and dryer. Absolutely spacious. Very clean. Parking is costly for those coming with a car - the location is so central that there is no need for a car. Highly recommended.
