Very nice stay at the HART house. The entire space is devoted to art and fill the walls.
A few blocks away from the subway and a few steps from nice little bars and restaurants ("Hot Jalapeno" if you like karaoke and want to be teleported into mexico).
If you want to visit NYC and live the real experience but don't want to sleep in the noisy downtown (you might still ear some traffic), it is the place to go.
