I stayed two months. The apartment and pictures reflect what you see in the listing. The location is the main advantage being centrally located in midtown Manhattan. Surprisingly it is not really noisy even at night as there is not so much foot traffic on this street compared to other streets. The fire department very close by doesn’t turn on the sirens for their night calls although you might wake up and see flashing red and white lights at night in the apartment!
If you want a high security building this may not be the place for you. There are vagrants that sit on the building front steps at times and chat. I did see some moderate drug use around the building as well. But this is New York City and not so uncommon. I never felt unsafe really although I did pay attention to my surroundings in the immediate area.
The bed is comfortable. The hot water works very well. I was also able to get packages easily. Ori did not have the air conditioner installed yet upon my arrival but he brought a brand new one the next day and it worked well for me the entire two month stay.
The kitchen is not really equipped for any serious food preparation or cooking. But there is a good grocery and pharmacy near by for prepared foods etc.
All in all, this is a great apartment for this central Manhattan location. It’s a good place especially for young people likely. Not luxurious but basic and comfortable.
