Toni's place was what we needed for our first visit to NYC. It's about 15 min from several subway stops (or like an 8 dollar Lyft ride) and the neighborhood was quiet. There are a lot of cool places nearby to try without taking the subway downtown. Our only regret was not being able to stay longer and explore more.
We didn't notice the thin walls being a problem at all and the weather was nice so we could open the windows and enjoy it while we were there.
Picking up and dropping off the keys was a snap even with us getting in late and leaving early. I highly recommend this place if you want to avoid all the hassle of city noise.
