This apartment is a great base for a NYC sojourn. It's well located with easy access to the rest of the city. The building overall has a very nice feel to it. Nice spacious corridors, very clean, well run, with a convenient laundry. The apartment itself is nicely done and well organized, with a good little kitchen and nice lighting. The building has an elevator, but the apartment is on the third floor and it was convenient to use the stairs as well. The apartment faces the street and there are at times plenty of city sounds, but they're not constant and it's peaceful much of the time. Check in and out was a breeze. The hosts couldn't have been nicer. All adds up to a great experience!
