The location is brilliant less than five minutes from Central Park, the subway and many restaurants. Despite being so central and the room being next to the front door of the building it was surprisingly quiet although, as has been said before, the intermittent noise from the fridge might be a problem for a very light sleeper.
It is a studio so it's not huge but it was very clean, had everything you need and there is plenty of storage for clothes and to put bags away. The bed is comfortable and there is a good microwave (although you eat at a breakfast bar as there is no table). We found Ana Maria a very responsive host quickly answering any questions we had.
The main problem we had was the wifi, as I have noticed before in New York, is not as good as we are now used to in Europe which led to quite a few abandoned FaceTime calls. But it is a good base to explore this fantastic city.
