This place is convenient. If you are a light sleeper, you may struggle with this apartment. With the Subway right underneath, and a busy road right outside, Its quite noisy. No blinds on the windows also makes it a very light apartment. We really didn't sleep very well here. BUT, New York, is the city that never sleeps, and it will likely be the same in any apartment in this location. This place is only one block to the subway, and close to great shopping and great restaurants. The apartment has everything you need, even a coffee machine, however, if you like to watch television, you WILL need a computer to be able to watch any as there is no cable. The apartment is quite old, but is nicely furnished with very cool retro furnishings and some great paintings. A great apartment if you sleep well, and want to be close to the action.
