This is an ideal place to stay for a New York trip. Close to so many great restaurants, stores, clubs and bars. The block it is on was particularly busy every night, with tons of people out for a good time. And while this can make other places very loud, since the apartment is in the back of the building I never had a restless night. I also loved the patio, as this gave me somewhere to unwind at the end of the day. It is also only 2 blocks to the subway which is very convenient. I would definitely stay here again. I only had 2 minor issues. The first is that the kitchen light is on a motion sensor. This is great for when you first come in at night and are in the dark. It is not super welcome though when someone is trying to sleep in the living room and every time they roll over the light turns on. I solved this issue by putting a piece of tape over the sensor at night. The second issue was that I did not receive check in instructions prior to arrival. It took about an hour for Petko to get in contact with me. I was kind of nervous at the time to be honest. But really, I had no trouble killing an hour even just feet from the apartment at all the local places. I would absolutely stay here again.
