The good very much outweighs the bad with this property. If we came to New York again we'd likely stay here again, but with a few caveats.
Plus points are:
- The location. You are within easy walking distance of all midtown attractions. Subway stops are close for further away activitities.
- The 1 1 we stayed in was well equipped, very spacious and clean. The fittings are best described as worn in and sturdy. If you want ultra modern this is not the place for you, but it works and it's comfortable.
- We found the staff really helpful and friendly.
The negative side mainly revolve around the windows:
- There is no real sound insulation. As we went out walking all day, and had a room high up, this wasn't a major issue but if you need quiet to sleep in then you can do better.
- Aircon. The units mount in the windows (and there are small gaps, hence the noise issue). The units themselves are very noisy. Luckily, beyond trying them out, we didn't really need them as it was Autumn/Fall.
In summary, I wouldn't stay in the appartments in hot weather where you have to rely on the aircon, as it'll be very noisy and probably not that cool. In cold weather, I'd ask if the windows are sealed up prior to booking as we could feel drafts thanks to the gaps around the aircon units, again, not an issue due to the outside temperature.
At all other times, I'd stay here again like a shot. Overall, for New York, it's decent value and the adjoining pizza place is good too.
