The best thing about this apartment was its location. Vey close to most places of interest and the subway. Lively street life but very noisy all night. It does not have central air. It made the kitchen and living room area hot. Each bedroom has a window a/c but they were vey noisy. No microwave either but we got along without it Kitchen is not gourmet. After all the negatives though, we would take it again though because of its location.
