The apartment itself really is wonderful - clean and big. The location is the biggest pro and biggest con. It's very central and you can walk almost anywhere. However, the building entrance is right next to a major subway entrance and we experienced some unsavory people near the entrance. The area is comparable to Herald Square in NYC, especially with Macy's across the street. You can also hear garbage trucks working at 5a - not great if you have kids or are light sleepers.
