The apartment was perfect for our trip and we would be glad to stay here again. We walked to Central Park, the Met, restaurants… everything we could have needed was within a block of the building. The place is very very clean, kitchen is great for cooking, water pressure is good. Lots of thoughtful touches like throw blankets on the couch. I would agree with other reviewers that the mattress is surprisingly firm, which I liked, but my partner found uncomfortable. The street noise was quite loud, but not as bad as many areas in NYC and normal for any big city. We weren’t bothered by it when the A/C was on. The blackout curtains in the bedroom were helpful, too. We never once heard noise from anywhere inside the building. The neighbors are very quiet. The building felt safe with a locked gate into the courtyard, locked door into the building, another locked door into the hallway, and then the apartment door. Pet’s apartment is a great find!
