My husband and I travel often. The things we look for are: a comfortable bed (Yes), a coffee maker, clean space (YES), easy to get around (YES). We recommend using the public transportation system during your stay, it's easy to get and well worth not having to find a parking space or fight traffic. Be aware that you will be walking up a couple flights of stairs that can be daunting after a day of walking around NY. You will love the atmosphere of the area and you are only a 5 minute walk for the famous Katz's deli (from the movie, When Harry met Sally).
