Allan's place was great. Brilliantly located for us as tourists and walking distance to so many areas. It's also near a bus terminal, which is handy for airport transfers and subway needs. The apartment was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Allan greeted us on arrival and made the check out process easy, he even let us leave our bags for our last day. As mentioned in other posts, the noise from the street is loud but I would expect to hear this anywhere in Manhattan.
