First as mentioned in the listing and other reviews, you must be able to carry your bags up and down 3 flights of stairs to the apartment. Having said that, this is a cozy, spotlessly clean apartment on W. 46th Street in the middle of "Restaurant Row". This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are that you have plenty of food and drink choices within 2 blocks of the apartment. There are also many good neighborhood grocery stores within a couple of blocks. It is also within 3 blocks of Times Square and Broadway theaters and within walking distance to Central Park and most Midtown attractions. There are plenty of subway stations around which can quickly take you pretty much anywhere you want to go in NYC. And we did! The disadvantage is noise. This is NYC after all. You'll hear the usual emergency vehicles from time to time and you'll hear the restaurant crowd out on the street (mostly on Friday nights and weekends). Most nights we were able to sleep just fine. All in all we had a great time and, as I said the apartment is very clean and comfortable. Get a taste of what it's like to live like an average New Yorker!
