This apartment is in the center of it all. As a result it is on the loud side but with the white nose machines available we had no issues sleeping. There was a ceiling leak on a particularly rainy day and Yaniv and Vanessa got back to us quickly with solutions. For NY it is a great size however we did find it hard to do much cooking in the small kitchen. With all the good food around that was no issue! We would stay here again and found all the extra touches of coffee, computer monitors, and cooking appliances especially helpful for a long stay!
