This was a great place to stay for a week while touring NYC. It is a block away from the subway and easy walking distance from Central Park and the Museum Mile. There is a grocery across the street. It had what I needed for a home base: a good enough bed, a full kitchen, a private bath, wifi, and cleanliness. The A/C and heating kept it a good temperature on a week with a few nights in the 50s and days up into the 90s.
The place is not big, luxurious, or in the poshest part of NYC. However, I think many people will find it is completely adequate and their vacation money is better spent on doing things than a luxury stay.
There was a small plumbing issue when I checked in that was out of Eric's control. He still went above and beyond working with the building managers to get things set right and it wasn't an inconvenience at all.
