Exactly as expected for a decently-priced rental in this area. While the apartment itself was nice and well-kept, the building is older and by no means a luxury apartment complex. Hallways were dingy and smelled like spliffs and other tenants on the floor were loud with several verbal altercations occurring over our three-night weekday stay. Loud construction noise and hissing from radiators can be effectively cancelled out with the earplugs provided in the apartment, but if you are a light sleeper this would not be a restful stay. Location is excellent. We enjoyed walking around K-town and being close to the Herald Square subway stop to get around otherwise.
