This is a very quiet apartment in a busy location. Because it faces away from the street you are insulated against traffic noise. You are close to Penn station and the High Line. The best thing, for us, was the roof garden. It is quirky and individual, and we were always alone up there in the skyscrapers. You can see the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building from the roof and it is really atmospheric. The hosts were responsive and easy to deal with. Highly recommended.
