This place is ideal in so many ways: you are right in the heart of the action and central to absolutely everything. The security couldn't be beat, and the suite itself is spacious, modern, very chic. The pool was great! It feels extremely upscale but relaxed. As other reviewers point out, the noise from the street is pretty extreme, even on a "quiet" day (Monday). I needed to play music at a fairly loud level to drown out the noise from the street and fall asleep. New Yorkers probably won't notice anything out of the usual, but if you are sensitive to noise, you should absolutely bring earplugs, noise-cancelling headphones, etc. That's the only downside -- otherwise Andres and his place are a gem!
