This stay was very pleasant. The place was clean and the area safe. They provided two towel sets, dishware set, pans, utensils, cups, mugs, and coffee. Also a travel crib. I will definitely be back to show my littles the city. The apartment is located on the third floor. However the elevator is out of service. So if you’re handicapped I would not recommend this place. We however didn’t mind the haul upstairs three flights. It was very short and very few steps. We had packed light as we only stayed a weekend. Uber rides took only 10-20mins to the city and anyway we needed to go. I will most definitely be booking again. We had a blast for our anniversary!
