It's important to me as a frequent traveler to have quick and accurate responses to my questions. Iradj is amazing in this area, no matter what time of day. The apartment is larger than what I expected from the pix online and the bedroom overlooks a garden which is quite peaceful in a very noisy city. If you're a theatergoer the location in unbeatable - there's so much to be said for being able to walk home from an evening on Broadway given the very challenging traffic situation in mid-town Manhattan. The availability of so many restaurants in the area is another plus. Yes, there are two flights of stairs to navigate but that's a non-issue for most travelers. There is no real kitchen in the apartment, although there is a refrigerator of sufficient size, a microwave, plenty of dishes/cutlery/accessories, and one amazing coffee maker that grinds and brews. That's a luxury.
