this is a hotel, not an apartment. so we were a little caught off guard by the air bnb listing which called it an apartment; however, it was in the most convenient location for our trip. within 2 block of grand central or the 42nd st. stations, right on 5th Avenue for shopping, walking distance of times Square and most Broadway theaters and there are tons of great restaurants nearby... or hop the 6 train and head to any of the great areas of the city for good food. none of our trips too more than 20mins, and that included subway and walking.
hotel room is small, best suited for a single occupant, but 2 people can make it work if you navigate space well. my husband and I had no issues, and the view from the room was beautiful when it snowed.
