We found Emma's place to be just like the pictures and reviews indicated: smallish, but fine for two people, charming decor, comfortable bed, lots of towels and powerful shower, great location surrounded by amazing variety of restaurants (Ukrainian to Hawaiian), close to Russ and Daughters, the best smoked and cured fish in NYC, and the added bonus of an espresso maker, which we loved. For the most part, the apartment is quiet, but the radiator did make some noise at times in the middle of the night. Check in and out was easy and quick.
