The unit was absolutely wonderful. It featured simple, tasteful decor and thoroughly modern flooring, appliances and plumbing fixtures. There was plenty of natural light. It’s a bit of a slog up and down the stairs but that’s unavoidable in an older building. As others have noted, there is some noise from the L train especially in the small front bedroom. I am a light sleeper with frequent insomnia. I wore my noise canceling earbuds to bed the first night and had no trouble falling asleep. By the second night I just tuned it out on my own. All in all a lovely place to stay when visiting New York.
