Apartment is very cool - full of character from the old gated elevators to the little balcony. As other reviews say, location is perfect for transport - can easily get the subway to most areas. I recognise some of the comments about the noise (you are in the middle of a big city after all) but we got used to it with no issues. It’s very safe as there is a door man who was always able to let us in again with no problems. If someone asked me if this was a good place to stay, I would definitely say yes.
