I stayed here almost for a month, and I would have benefited from a detailed review to make an informed choice. So here it is. Hope it helps. Location: it is close to everything, and very accessible to both updown and downtown. Subway is three blocks away, and the bus is less than a block away. It is situated in Kips Bay rather than Gramercy. Gramercy is several blocks away. Apartment condition: it is renovated, and the interior is beautiful. It does not get much sunlight. It has a distinct smell - like that of a mold. I opened the window and sprayed my perfume almost daily, but it does not get rid of the smell. The noise can be an issue if you are sensitive or a light sleeper. There is no street noise. However, it is surrounded by other buildings, and the noise from the fans operating from the building within and outside is ongoing. Whenever there is a central heat or s/t turned on during the day, it makes a loud, airplane like noise and it can be constant from the morning to the evening. From midnight to about 5 am, I heard intermittently the sound of pounding that wakes me up. This also occurs on a daily basis. One can get used to them I guess. But the pounding noise was challenging. Service from Corporate Housing: They helped with initial setup for missing items, and tried to help especially with the noise. The pounding noise could not be identified or improved. So they let me leave the place before the end of my stay without penalty. One thing I noticed was that you cannot call them so everything is transacted by email (messages using airbnb). This is good on one hand so that both parties have a record of the transactions. On the other hand, during emergencies or in times when verbal communication is more efficient, they did not help. Also not the same person handles all your email transactions which is understandable. but this creates a problem of miscommunication and missed information sometimes. They are not aware that the previous email has already mentioned the question, issue, etc. So they ask the same question again or get somewhat upset because I did not heed their answer when I already responded to them. there are also naturally variations in terms of the way they respond. some are nicer; others are a bit rude. For example, they have come down on me hard when I did not check out at 10 am saying that they have to charge me extra. I let them know that I asked if it is ok to check out at 1 pm in the previous message, and thought they oked it. then they let it go. i ended up leaving around 11:30 am anyway because of all this miscommunication. overall, they tried to help, which counts. The building manager was very helpful.
