Great central spot

Excellent location for exploring New York. Clear instructions on how to use things and where to find great food. We enjoyed coming back to our home base rather than a small hotel room. Thanks!

Happy to come back.

Myself and my husband had a great stay here. It's a compact little apartment but it was perfect for us. It has a small kitchen but all you need to cook meals if you want to. It is as described and was just was we expected. As mentioned there are 4 flights of stairs up to it but we had no problem and we are 59 and 66. As regards to the building that's going on around it, we never heard anything, it's not a problem. In fact we found it to be quite a quiet part of the street. I would be happy to stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Because it is in a great location near many of the city's attractions -- steps off Fifth Avenue between Flatiron, just to the south; Murray Hill, a block to the east; and Midtown, whose southern tip begins four blocks to the north. It's in the center of the Persian rug district, two blocks south of Korea Town and four blocks north of Madison Square Park.
