The subway stop near the place was really great- I forget how much that fact improves my NY visit- as well as the 2 ramen places right downstairs! Also a great Himalayan restaurant around the corner, and the very best bagels in all of NYC at Ess-a-Bagel. Bus stops very close also. Very comfy bed, amazing coffee, great view, an elevator, and good communications with the owner made it a very comfortable place to stay. I will stay again!
