Lana's place was a great option for my husband and me for our road trip to New York. The apartment is beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed to be comfortable for the week. We brought our bikes and had plenty of room to store them without feeling cramped. The balcony was a nice perk, and we spent a little time each day sitting out there and enjoying the nice weather. The location is super convenient - close to lots of shops and a subway station. We thought we might want to use our car during our stay, but ended up not feeling the need to. Part of that was due to NYC traffic, but how easy it was to walk everywhere was a huge factor as well.
As others have mentioned, the road noise in the bedroom can be loud if you're not used to it. We haven't lived in the city for a few years so it was a bit much for us. We ended up sleeping on the day bed in the living room most nights because it was significantly quieter in there. The day bed is comfortable, so that wasn't an issue for us.
While there is parking nearby, it's important to note that is it not on site so you won't be able to park and load/unload a car easily unless you get lucky and find street parking. We had no such luck when we arrived, but were able to find a close spot the morning we left. The parking attendants in the garage down the block were also easy to work with, so we had no trouble getting some extra things out that we'd forgotten or loading up a few things the night before we left.
