The apartment is well set up for a family stay, with a fully-equipped kitchen and a family-sized dining area. Parents will love the spacious en-suite bathroom and there is a large living area for both children and adults to play and relax - a luxurious amount of space for a Manhattan home. There’s also an additional single bedroom which is ideal for a nanny or au pair.
Why Kids Love it
The residence has plenty of toys, lego, games and books for children under 14. The long family space and large loft living room are great for kids to run and play, or drive around on a bright blue wheeled kid furniture piece. It’s only a short walk from the amazing Pier 25 which has a great playground, soccer and sports field, family swings, and the brand new ecologically themed Pier 26, where you explore the maritime science of the Hudson river. If they want to explore further across the city, there are great family-friendly attractions within easy reach: visit the Museum of Illusions (15 minutes by subway), The American Museum of Natural History or Central Park Zoo (both less than half an hour away).

Style Notes
Modern loft. This apartment is bright, contemporary and furnished in an eclectic style. The hosts have used a white neutral palette and pared-back styling to highlight the building’s classic loft features, such as the super high ceilings and exposed brick walls, which are a great backdrop for the industrial-style kitchen. We love the large North American elk looking over the living room, the pops of brightly-colored furniture in the open plan area and the classic white tiled bathrooms.
