Great central location if you are sight seeing, easy to get to subways, etc. A Target right across the street for supplies. There is loud street noise (as to be expected) would sleep on the bed in the living room if you are a light sleeper. Also note that there are 2 flights of narrow steep stairs to get up to the apt, if accessibility is a concern. Good amount of space for NYC standards and available appliances and basic supplies in kitchen. Lots of charm in this old building (including years of paint over every surface including the bath tub). Lots of check-ins from owner and process to get keys was easy.
