Good location near the 2nd Avenue subway @72nd and also to Central Park. Many good restaurants nearby. Lu made check in and check out very easy and was accessible to ask any questions and to make sure I had what I needed. I’m a very light sleeper so I always use wax earplugs in nyc to sleep and was fine. Normal noise you’d expect in the city, not too loud, occasional neighbor’s footsteps or street sounds but nothing too crazy. 5th floor walk up, no elevator. Neighborhood is safe. Lu is very nice and helpful.
