This place was better in real life than in the pictures. It's really spacious for a characterful Manhattan 1-bed. It's a great base, near great food and train connections. Despite being on a main street, it's really peaceful inside. I did have ear plugs with me that I used, but my friend didn't use them and was equally thrilled with the place. Tony was the perfect host. Wish we could have stayed more than 2 nights!
