Myself and 3 friends stayed in this apartment for 6 nights during Thanksgiving week. It was amazingly well located, just a couple of minutes walk from Macys, Empire State Building and lots of shopping and restaurants. Plenty of subway options nearby too. It wasn't immaculate but clean enough. The building and area felt safe. It is a bit noisy and we had to leave the window open as it was SO hot with the heating on (we weren't able to control the temperature), but a bit of noise is to be expected in NYC. Check in was a bit of a pain as the person was not able to be contacted when we arrived. We waited for over an hour and then the security guard just gave us the key. Overall a positive experience and I would recommend to others.
