Just what we were looking for -- a clean place, comfortable beds, and at a good price. My two adult sons and I landed at Allen's place for 5 days while exploring New York City. A great trip! The apartment is close to the Metro (high on our priority list). You can hear some noise from the upstairs apartment but we are pretty easy going (and heavy sleepers) so this did not bother us. We enjoyed our interaction in the neighborhood (coffee, restaurants, etc) and were able to get everywhere we wanted to go in the city by jumping on a train. There are, of course, places to stay that are closer to "the sights" but at a higher cost. This unit was a nice way for us to maximize our trip budget while staying in a clean, well appointed space. Recommended.
