Lauren's place is perfect if you are attending events at any of the historic theatres on Broadway--easy walking distance. And super close to Clifton's, which is a really cool "cafeteria" and four-story bar--a must visit. The bed is very comfortable and another guest slept on the couch, which was also comfortable. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. It is, after all, downtown. Do realize that Ted, the cat, is very affectionate and will want to sleep with you, given the chance. We did have difficulty connecting to get the keys, but I'm sure that was a one time occurrence. Cleanliness was not a strong suit, but I would stay there again if I were visiting downtown locations.
