This location was central to every place I wanted to visit. The MTA subway station is right around the corner. I like to eat healthy, and there is a Whole Foods at the end of the block, and a Trader Joe's nearby. I managed to cook roughly two meals each day during my stay. Being an old Manhattan apartment, the central heating isn't on a per-suite basis. It is controlled for the entire building. If you are traveling when there is a huge temperature swing, it may get cold at night while the boiler turns on to re-heat the pipes. Mica provided an extra blanket which really helped out. The room is right beside the stairwell, so you will hear everyone walking up and down the narrow stairs. This didn't bother me since I use earplugs for sleeping when I travel. All in all, this place is perfect for the well-prepared solo traveler.
