This place is great for a couple traveling in Manhattan. It is super close to subway on 42 and port authority to catch a bus. Lots of restaurants close and Michal gave several great suggestions for restaurants. It is one flight up and close to the street, sometimes it could be a little noisy from the people down on the street or the traffic, but that is a trade off for location! This did not bother us, we have been to nyc other times and it is not a quiet city!! I would highly recommend this place!
