We were made feel very welcome with cold water, beer and chocolate in the fridge. The place was impeccable, the bed was super comfortable, the linens were fantastic, the AC was a blessing in the July heat. The apartment is in the thick of the action, and yet is super quiet. The quietness is owing the fact that it has no exterior facing windows. It only has windows facing into the air shaft (like a lot of NYC apartments), which makes it a bit dark. If you are spending most of your day visiting the city, this probably won't matter. However if you will be working from home and spending a lot of time at the apartment, the lack of natural light may bug you.
