We booked it because it looked very bright and friendly with nice little details. When we checked-in we really didn't like the re-design. It's pretty dark, wasn't finished yet (no paintings hanging, nothing personal) and it was super noisy. Canal street is maybe one of the loudest in Manhattan. Air con is super noisy too so it didn't really matter if you keep the windows open or closed. Harrison answers came VERY late and so my overall feeling is that this apartment is WAY overprized - but it's NYC - maybe that's why...
