The location is perfect, both for walking to interesting places and for access to transportation. The apartment was small (it's NYC!) but had everything we needed. The front-desk guys are efficient but not particularly welcoming. You must understand that the building is at the center of 'the city that never sleeps'. So, each night, even on the 11th floor with double-glazed windows, we heard car horns (very expressive), emergency service sirens, semi truck horns that sounded like foghorns, deliveries being unloaded, workers repairing the road with jack-hammers at 3:30AM (I hope it was an emergency!). Nevertheless, we had great time.
