Annika’s place is great. While it does get a bit noisy due to the horse carriages and the deliveries below, it was not to the point where we could not sleep or rest. If you are a light sleeper then you may want to come prepared with some ear plugs.
Other than that, do come prepared for a bit of walking as the nearest subway station is at least 10 to 15 minutes walk away. There are buses available to the subway so it isn’t too bad.
The food nearby is great as well, just a block or two away. Several Deli and markets are available nearby 24/7.
Overall a great stay. We enjoyed the place and Annika as a host is awesome. Hope your stay in NYC will be as great as ours was at Annika’s place.
