This is a great location, with just about every kind of restaurant and shop within easy walking distance. The neighborhood felt very safe and had a front desk attendant. The apartment was quiet for sleeping, with almost no street noise. This is in an historic building, so elevators, hallways, and other spaces are small, but we were comfortable there with our family of two adults and two teens. Comfortable beds. Check in and check out were quick and easy and Alberto was great with communication. Having access to a laundry room was also a good feature. This was our first family visit to NYC and Alberto's place worked well for us.
