This was a perfect stay for my first time in New York. It was quick ride from and back to LaGuardia Airport, and the location is amazing for being almost right in the heart of Manhattan. It is a less than 10 minute walk to Columbus Circle, leading to Central Park and the Museum corridor, and about 15 minute walk to Times Square. While it might seem noisy when you're awake, I did not have any problems sleeping, especially being a light sleeper. Lisa is a great host, and we shared a nice meal of congee one evening. I would definitely stay here again.
