This is a real New York "walk up" apartment - typical of many residential areas of the City. Great location if you're transiting through Penn Station, with a short walk less than two blocks. Our hosts were great to communicate with - always responded promptly and with helpful information.
Remember, you're in New York - accommodation is small! But comfy beds and a very quiet location more than make up for a bit of squeezing in. A homely place in a good spot.
