The apartment is in a great location, accessible to grand central station a few blocks away and not too far from midtown / central park and many other areas. It's on the 5th floor so you have to be willing to walk up and down the stairs which can be tiring. Compared to many other NY apartments this is a pretty nice 1BR in terms of space.

Margaret's friend Chase was very nice when we arrived, helping us with our bags up the stairs and communicating prior to arrival. We found a note on the fridge when we arrived saying there is a mouse that comes to visit from time to time (I actually think it just lived there), this was a little downer. The only other negative I would say is that there was a lot of construction going on in the building during our stay and dust covering the stairs / wall of the building and a couple of the days during my two month stay I had to allow workers to come in to update various appliances in the unit.
