Eduardo's apt is great. You feel like a local in the neighborhood. Easy grocery stores nearby, the Italian Restaurant right across the street is excellent. Very close to broadway shows, the furthest walk to a play was thirteen minutes for us. Central Park a close walk. Two stories up, we had no problem managing the stairs with suitcases. Many street lights on the corner of W 51st Street and 9th Avenue, very safe, traffic sounds from the street, blackout curtains kept the bedroom dark. Eduardo provides ear plugs if the sounds bother you, I didn't use them and had no problem sleeping. Little snacks were there for us & the bathtub was a delight. One last note, as I walked into the apartment, I felt like an acquaintance had said to me, "Anytime you're in NYC feel free to stay at my place if I am not there." That being said, every drawer and every inch of closet space is taken. We ended living out of our suitcases on the floor. We were delighted and we would stay there again.
