This place is on the lower end of the pay rate for a great NYC location only 15 minutes from downtown. Younger guests looking for cheap accommodations and willing to compromise on comfort would find this place acceptable. For older guets the comfort may be more important, and it would be a trade off to keep in mind. The apartment is quiet and clean, the building a little less so. Lots of neighborhood places to eat and close to main subway lines. Bensife was home most of the time and the other guests were quiet and invisible.
