The apartment was clean, everything in working order, and the security personnel are friendly. As noted by previous guests, 6th avenue is a party street which gives you great access to the action, and can be loud at night. Our apartment had dishes of earplugs distributed like breath mints in every room, and we used them! There is only one blanket per bed, so if you are a cold sleeper you might to request more covers ahead of time (I don't know if they provide this). The kitchen is very nice and well stocked with dishware and pans.

We had some concerns about security. The front door opens by the slide card (of which we had two), but security will buzz you in at any hour. After the first day, I was never asked for ID when requesting entry from the front door; they just buzzed in me and whoever I was with (including people not staying in the building). During our weekend stay a friend on the 5th floor had her room broken into and her laptop and ipad stolen. The management said this was the only theft they had experienced in 8 years of managing the building. They were friendly and caring about the situation, but certainly the neighborhood is where people get things stolen (another friend had her iphone stolen out of her hand on the street the same weekend). Definitely lock your room.

Overall we had a pleasant stay and the experience matched our expectations.
