The location can't be beat - the park is within a block as is the subway. There are also so many restaurants and shops within an easy walk. We booked for the location and the many positive reviews. The apartment definitely lived up to these expectations. It is very comfortable and the decor very attractive. There were no problems with street noise. The radiator came on a couple of mornings and there was associated pipe noise (pretty brief). We appreciated the Keurig coffee maker and the fully stocked pods. There were flowers on the table and a bottle of wine in the fridge. Very welcoming!
