Perfect Location

This was an absolutely perfect "in the middle of it all" location for my family for the Thanksgiving weekend. Right in the heart of theaters, 1 1/2 long blocks to TKTS outlet and close to easy upper westside/downtown subway and bus connections. Easy walk to everything in midtown and felt completely safe with our 10 year-old in tow. Carlos was very accommodating and helpful. The major downside was radiator making the pounding noise that so many radiators do in the middle of the night and couldn't be turned down so windows had to be opened to keep a tolerable temperature. For this reason, the street noise in the front room was pretty distracting at night (in addition to the radiator). These plus satin sheets constantly slipping off the fold down bed and no way to shut out the street light made the front room not very good for sleeping. That said, the kitchen was GREAT (we cooked a somewhat abbreviated Thanksgiving dinner there). The bedroom has a door opening onto a balcony which made it all feel quite expansive for the size. I give this a 5 for two guests (sleeping in the bedroom at the back) and a 4 if more than two are staying here given the difficult sleeping conditions in the front room. Lots of nearby restaurants (though we never got to any of them), Starbucks across the street and groceries within a couple of blocks. Our primary destinations in 4 days were two theatres, TKTS box office, Natural History Museum, Rockefeller Center, MOMA, Chelsea and ground zero. Great bus connection to/from Newark Airport via the Port Authority Terminal just a short walk away. We were not looking to shop, so do not know how convenient this apartment would have been for that. I would recommend this for someone that wants to be in the center of activity, but not someone looking for a quiet residential street. Very clean, great HOT shower, pretty comfortable bed, wifi worked great. We love NYC!!!! Thank you Carlos!
