Sam's place is great for a party of up to 6 people. It is located near a subway line, and is within a couple blocks away from Central Park, which made it great for morning runs around the park. We did run into some late night partying which went until 5am with loud music, but it was a Friday night, and hard to tell it was coming from the permanent neighbors, or other possible Airbnb'ers in that building. It is NYC after all, so noise is part of the package. Communication with the host was great and quick, and we would definitely consider this place for future NYC visits.
