This place is a gem. It is a couple blocks (3-4 mins) away from the subway and northern Central Park entrance which makes it a great location for people who want to explore NY. A lot of deli and grocery shops not far from the apartment. M1 and M2 buses allow you to get back to the place late at night too. For the asking price you won't find a better solution to rest during your adventures. Futon is very comfortable and heating close by makes sure you are not cold at night. The whole apartment is clean and makes you feel at home. Noise can be a problem for people who are not used to it, so bring earplugs if you are not sure, but honestly it is not bad at all, typical city noise and people coming in and out of the apartment building. Gaudhi and his mother are very kind people, who are always there if you need help. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend this place to people who want a place to rest during their time in NY.
