I stayed with Patrick for 1 week. The apartment is so close to everything. I walked to Central Park, Empire State Building, Rockefeller center and the Top of the rock, and the Chelsea Highline etc! The apartment is small but your really only paying for a place to put your head every night. It was close to all the touristy things but also had local hangouts close by as well. Please try Amy's Bread on 9th street while your there it is so good! Patrick was nice when I saw him but most of the time we were on different schedules. Yes it is a five floor walk up so if your not particularly fit you won't enjoy the hike everyday to make it to your bed but the location can't really be beat. There is some traffic noise from this room.
