The location is awesome, the apartment is charming, and the host is excellent. As others have stated (and is typical of many/most locations in NYC), there is a not-insignificant amount of street noise, due to the fact that there are AC units in the windows of every room. However, if you stay here in August, as we did, you will be thankful for that feature. There are ceiling fans in every room as well. The beds and pillows are quite comfortable, which is a rare and welcome treat. Shower pressure is good; a feature that is seldom mentioned but has a huge impact on my experience.
Very little noise comes through the walls from neighboring units, even though there are businesses and residences flanking almost every side of the apartment.
Outstanding coffee, restaurants, bars and shopping are mere steps from the front door.
