This is a very nice place. It was very clean and the bed was very comfy. There is a steam heater that makes funny noises but it was not a big deal. If you're sound-sensitive though, might want to think about that. Even so, ear plugs would probably take care of it. There was also a cold doggy (Feb.) next door that barked a bit but not for very long so it wasn't an issue.
The location can be a bit of a challenge depending on what you're looking for. It doesn't look far from the city on a map, but traffic! I rented a car and found out that NYC driving is a challenge. Note that if you do choose to rent a car, parking on the street can be a little tricky but I got the hang of it. I didn't really mind it but some may. But, this is a quiet, safe neighborhood and I felt very relaxed. Enjoy!
