Absolutely close to everything touristy in the city! We went to see Wicked and it was just a 5 minute walk to a nice dinner spot before the show across the street! Time Square less than 10 minute walk and Central Park was also very close! Everything else within a 30 minute subway ride. Niko is a delightful person and checked in on us often (none intrusively). The apartment is true to New York size, very small but the room was comfortable for my friend and I and our suitcases so no complaints here!
