Coats' place is amazing!
1) Great communication: Coats responds fairly quickly and gives clear instructions. He reaches out to you days in advance to make sure of a smooth check-in.
2) Stunning view: The apartment is located in Hell's Kitchen, just high enough to oversee the buildings nearby, which allows you to see at least 6 blocks ahead north of the 10th Ave. You get a fair view of the river, too.
3) Great location: subway stations are within a 5-10 minute walk. CVS nearby, a good distance from midtown, meaning it's not crazy loud at night, but you could fully enjoy the skyline.
