This was a quiet, clean and safe place to stay in the heart of Ktown in NYC. It is exactly what the pictures suggest. Being an older building with thick walls meant we heard little from others even over head. It has the typical creaks and clicks of the era it was built which were comforting and not disturbing. Bathroom has modern look and a shower that was great for those of us who are tall but also adaptable for any size as it is a removable head. All in all worked well for us.
