This studio is in a great location for someone needing to be in midtown on the west side. It is a new building, with good appliances, etc. Easy access to many buses and subway lines. There's a Whole Foods at Columbus Circle, and smaller markets closer to the building. There is a lot of light coming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. However, since this unit faces a wall of similar apartments across the courtyard, you'll get a great view of the daily lives of the residents in those apartments. In spite of the warning in this AirBnB unit listing that there must be NO alcohol or parties on the courtyard, the other residents clearly don't have this in their leases. Every weekend, there were parties lasting into the early morning, and there was no way to complain to anyone.
The kitchen was the most minimally-furnished of any AirBnB I've stayed at. It would be nice if the host could supply kitchen towels, a bottle/can opener, ice cube trays, and a small cutting board. We had to purchase these ourselves. However, the studio was very clean, and had a great bed and sheets/bath towels. It was a great place to stay for a month while looking for a permanent apartment in NYC.
