The 25th Street Residence
Perks for the Parents
Situated in one of the city’s most family friendly and central spots, this residence is in an easy area for family travels with lots of great amenities for adults on and around the street, including more coffee on every block than any grown up needs, and fabulous grown-up restaurants as close as 2 blocks away. The whole apartment is designed to work for families with kids, but retains a contemporary adult aesthetic throughout. Beds are made up with Keetsa mattresses and high thread count Calvin Klein bedding.
Why Kids Love it
The apartment and neighborhood are appealing for kids of all ages. There is a toddler park 2 blocks to the north, a bigger kid park 2 blocks to the south, and all of 24th street is available for independent tweens and teens who want to take themselves out for a fro-yo, an afternoon hot chocolate, or a burrito for major afternoon teen-hungries. A mix of toys are always available (Lego, some Playmobil), and others can be added. Pack-n-play, high-chair, and stroller available on request. With advance notice, the host’s teens can generally be available to sit.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 30 days. For additional guests, there is a sofa bed, travel crib and futon. There are some steps to access the apartment and 5 steps in the apartment itself between the living space and the bedrooms, with no gate. The hot tub in the yard has locking clips for safety, and there are 4 steps in the yard, which is fully enclosed. The private patio off the master is fully enclosed and has no steps. Parking is generally not a problem.
