Convenient location. The neighborhood is not loud as some NYC neighborhoods can be. Though the building itself was still rather noisy. The apartment is on the ground floor, so you hear people coming and going for the whole building. The fire alarm in the main entrance kept chirping all night, probably due to a low battery. The heating system squealed in the middle of the night as well. Susan was kind and it was a convenient easy place to stay for a night in midtown.
