This apartment is located within steps of the NJ Penn Station, so it is an easy commute for sightseeing in NYC. If you read the reviews, you will have a clear picture of the pros and cons of the apartment. For the older, perhaps mobilty-challenged traveler, be aware that there are about 10 steps down to get to this basement apartment, then one more to get to the door and one more right as you step into the apartment. It has a nice kitchen area, including a dishwasher, and a large bathroom with a tub and shower. There is a good taco place on the ground level of this apartment and the typical noise/music will filter through the floor from approx. 11:00am to 10:00pm. Being a basement apartment the traffic noise of the city prevents is almost all filtered out.
