This really is great location. It is up the three flights of steep, narrow stairs which stinks after walking all day. However, it’s really worth it. You’re in such a great place for subway access, easy sightseeing, and some great bagels around the corner.
All the quirks are very New York, but honestly it didn’t matter after a long day. It was a great home base to relax and unwind each night. We would definitely stay again.
