This apartment is so cute and the updates are really nice! The fact it has a washer and dryer is an extra bonus as well. Keep in mind it’s New York City so the apartment is not huge but it was a great size for two people. The location is perfect for checking out the area and close to the subway. Abbey had good communication and was an excellent host. I know the noise of the front door and stairs was mentioned by another guest... Yes, it can be a little loud. If you’re a light sleeper you may want to bring ear plugs. The noise was mostly at the end of the day or first thing in the morning. Overall it did not bother us though and we would definitely stay here again. This apartment was so nice to come back to after a day in the city.
