Its in a renovated basement but its very nice, very clean, in a good neighborhood, the subway is like a 10 min walk away. Its close to midtown/uptown Manhattan, but might take you a little bit to get to the lower part of Manhattan by subway. Parking was hard to find(Friday night at 8pm), so if you are driving, be aware of that. Overall though I enjoyed my stay and I would not mind staying here again.
Also EZ is SUPER accessible, if you have any problems whatsoever, EXCELLENT HOST.
