Isabel's room is located within walking distance to the subway (1 min to line C) and to Columbus Ave where there is a large Whole Foods supermarket and plenty of other food options. It's also a 10-min walk to Smoke Jazz bar which was pretty cool. I was there for the Boston Marathon and really appreciate the proximity to Central Park for my morning runs. There isn't much privacy though, so it might not work for very light sleepers. However, for the price in Manhattan, it definitely beats staying at a hostel with several other guests in the same room if you want a little more privacy.
