The Family Tatami room was HUGE! It provided so much space for lounging. My teenagers enjoyed playing the guitar, and the record player created a great atmosphere. The bathroom was surprisingly large, easily accommodating all four of us. Plus, its proximity to the subway made hopping to the station SUPER easy!!!
