If you are interested in Broadway shows, and being close to Central Park, this apartment is great because it is between the two.
We stayed for four nights. The two kids shared the second bedroom and we stayed in the master. The apartment was very clean and simple. You will need to be prepared to walk up two floors as there is no elevator.
The apartment is pretty basic. One bathroom and two rooms with a living room/kitchen. The host was very nice and met us at the apartment to give us the keys. The master bedroom is on the street side, and you can definitely hear street sounds 24/7, but it is not bad. If the A/C is on, then you have some white noise to block it and ear plugs takes care of the rest.
I do wish that the master had better shades, though, because the room was not dark with the existing shades down due to street lights. The kids enjoyed the fact that the second bedroom has both a regular door and a closet door that opens into the room from the hallway. They kept the closet door open because it is right in front of the living room A/C. The A/C was needed, because it was humid. Make sure you have A/C on maximum cooling or it just seems like a fan.
We didn't cook, but there were a lot of dishes and pots and pans for cooking if you wanted. There is only one bathroom with bathtub/shower. It was clean and the hot water worked. The shower drain wasn't working great, but after some Drano, it was much better.
I would stay there again.
It was exactly what we needed, which was a place to spend the night and to go visit Broadway. It is about five blocks from the Metro and there are a lot of restaurants and stores within a very short walking distance.
The Afghan restaurant (Ariana) next door is very good. The owner was very friendly. You should try the Manto (steamed dumplings). It is excellent.
