GOOD LOCATION BUT NEEDS A BIT OF WORK
Review Submitted: October 27, 2009
Date of Stay: October 2009
My familly and I stayed for 4 nights, the location is quite good, the restaurants around are excellent and the food court across the road very good too.
The apartment was very big and spacious and clean although I had to buy cleaning stuff for the bathrooms since they weren´t up to standards.
The double beds are quite small though, smaller than American standards.
Our real problem was the noise, and it wasn´t the traffic since the street where it´s located is very quiet, it was impossible to sleep at night due to the aircon machines situated just outside our bedroom windows, the noise kept going all night long, so if you want a quiet night after a hard day touring around, maybe it´s not the right place to stay, if you are somebody that can sleep just about anywhere, then I would recommend it.
The TV wasn´t working either, although we didn´t have time to watch it anyway.
By the way, just to let people with disabilities or mobility problems know that that there is no elevator in the building, you need to walk up about 50 steps to get up to the apartment with your full suitcase in your hand, something that proved quite painfull on the way out since we had very heavy suitcases.
On the other hand we found the agents very nice and helpfull, always replied to queries straight away and the self che in was very convenient also.

Owner's Response: Thank you for staying with City Lights. I'm sorry to hear that you did not find the bathrooms cleaned to your liking. I really wish you would have told us. We would have sent the cleaning lady back in right away! Further, the television was/is working. Sometimes, people just change the input so the picture doesn't come out, but you just have to set the TV to component 2 and it will work. I am also sorry that you found the apartment noisy. We really can't control the noise of the a/c's from our neighbors, but we would have happily supplied some earplugs for you to help you sleep at night. Anyhow, thank you for staying with us. We have many different apartments, so the next time you come to NYC, please contact us again. We will be happy to set you up in another, equally nice but hopefully less noisy apartment!
Kind Regards,
Damon and the City Lights Staff
