This apartment was ideal for a month-long visit during the winter. The location is astonishingly convenient, with numerous public transport links and useful stores nearby. The apartment itself would be quiet by any standards; by Manhattan standards it is close to miraculous. The owner is close at hand, and very willing to help, but does not intrude in any way. Within hours I was comfortably at home, and I was sorry to leave after 30 days. Highly recommended.
