I had a great stay here. My friends and I stayed over the weekend, the place was well located lots of shops and pubs around. Check-in was easy. The apartment has so much space, great for a group of friends, the washroom is spacious. My complaint or suggestion would be to bring your own mirror, the place only has 1 mirror in the washroom, and when the group is getting ready it makes it tricky. Regarding the sound from the karaoke bar downstairs, you can definitely hear it, not super loud, but you can hear it, however, it didn't bother me or my friends -- to be honest we were so tired everyday that it didn't matter at all. I'd definitely stay here again or recommend this place to friends visiting NYC.
