This is a terrific apartment - super clean, great size for 5 people, and very nicely furnished. Check in and communication were easy, and the street itself is not busy. There is regular city noise with the windows open, but it was very quiet with the windows closed. The neighborhood is nice, there are lots of restaurants, bakeries, and grocery stores nearby. And it was a quick walk to midtown (20 minutes to MoMA, Rockefeller Center, midtown shopping). We loved it and would gladly stay here again.
