We really enjoyed the location and quiet. It is reasonably priced for NYC. Easy to get around on subway. The apartment isn't renovated so if you don't mind a tad of NYC gritty charm you'll be all set. We prefer Airbnb over hotel. You get to make a cup of coffee or tea and it is a more homey, relaxing place to rest between traipsing around this amazing city. Recommend Silver Moon Bakery 2 blocks away on Broadway for continental breakfast. Also Bahn Noodle on Amsterdam is fun: tasty, bustling, inexpensive noodle bowls. They don't serve alcohol if that matters to you. Would be happy to stay here again.
