Place was great. Everything you need in NYC was within one block and subway to downtown just outside apartment. Within five minute walk were great parks. Not as famous as Central Park-- but more wild. I'm sensitive to sound but had no problem sleeping. Muffled rush hour traffic during rush hours (unit is on side/back of building--not over street). Other building residents very quiet. Families live there. Christian was very good about explaining everything. Hosts check you in but after that you have place to yourself. Would stay again.
