Fantastic location! Walk to Grand Central in 5 minutes, Times Square in 20, Central Park in 30. Lots of restaurants nearby. There are a lot of steep and irregular stairs leading to the apartment, difficult with luggage or if you have mobility issues. The foyer and stairwells of the building are dirty and smell like cigarette smoke. The apartment is very small, especially the bathroom. The main bed was comfortable, the couch bed not as much. The heat is on constantly and cannot be adjusted ( as per the host) and so we had the window air conditioning unit on whenever we were there. It blasts right onto the bed and so I moved my pillows to the foot of the bed and it was fine. But, we were out and about from morning to night so we only really slept here. The location was the best thing about the apartment.
