We had a wonderful stay in the apartment during the NYC marathon - fantastic location as far as walking to major attractions - easy 20 minute walk to the theaters in Times Square and restaurants and bars galore right outside the front door. Very spacious apartment - huge by NYC standards and quite the value for the $$. We slept 5 in the apartment quite comfortably - the front room is a bit noisey as others have noted, but it's the city so it's to be expected. Use the ear plugs and put your least sensitive sleepers in that room! Very easy to get in and out, super easy to catch cabs/Ubers right outside the door. Lots of seating space during the day, wonderful kitchen and Keurig is a nice touch for a quick cup of coffee. NIce soft towels in the bathroom and everything is very new and updated. Would love to stay here again next time we come to NYC!
