This is a great choice for anyone who can't commit to a long-term lease, but needs to spend a few months in the city. It is in close proximity to everything (few blocks away from grocery stores like Trader Joes/Whole Foods, a block from various bodegas, 3 blocks from subway, few blocks from Central Park). Like many places in the city, there is no need for a car. CitiBike rentals are nearby and an electric bike/scooter is a great way to travel instead of the subway/taxis. The apartment is a reasonably sized studio, not too small, not big either. The building is great, no problem using the amenities (gym, rooftop, laundry, etc.). The building staff (doormen) are great and friendly, no risk of loosing packages.
The only negative aspect I think is the lack of privacy, but that is sort of inevitable in nyc. Unless the blinds are down 24/7, your entire life (sleep, eating, watching movies, etc.) is on display. The only true privacy is in the kitchen or when u close the door to the bathroom
