Probably the best place you can rent if you stay in new york.Close to two subway subway stations and to many restaurants, cheap or expensive depending on your taste.You can hear noise from outside but it is a very quiet street so it is rarely a problem. The appartment is easy to find and it has a small table if you want to eat outside , though it was hard for us as it was winter.Perfect appartment for someone who is looking to find a place to stay in NYC.
