Overall we had a very good stay here. The apartments are adjacent to the Hotel L and you can purchase breakfast at the hotel if you like (its a fairly good breakfast, we went there once). The apartment has a sitting room, small galley kitchen, bathroom and bedroom so there is a fair bit of room to spread out (more than most hotels I would say). The check-in/out is pretty easy, although you don't get the access code until shortly before your stay begins. There are a few restaurants and a grocery store within 5 minutes (not a ton of restaurants but highly recommend Grappolo D'uva Italian nearby). The building is right next to the subway/bus/train station, which is very convenient for getting around. The windows are very soundproof so you cannot hear the trains; however - and here is the reason I didn't give 5 stars - it was quite warm in our room (June) so we had to have the window open, meaning we could hear the trains through the night. We could not cool the room off sufficiently because there is no control for (cooling) temperature. There is a thermostat and you can turn the dial to increase the fan speed, but unfortunately that doesn't change anything. I called ApartDirect (they were relatively easy to get a hold of via phone as well as email) and they informed me that the temperature controls were managed globally for the entire building so (despite the thermostat/fan control in the room) there is no way to adjust this for your own room. We did find a small fan to use.
