bigreddawgie:
In response to your questions, I had a furnished room. Nothing fancy, but everything was clean and I found the building nice (if I hadn’t, I would not have stayed there a 2nd year). Only one caveat: wood floors, and you do hear people walking around in the floor above you- unless, of course, you are on the top (4th) floor.
One other thing: if you are concerned about safety, it is a nice location, because it is just off 53rd street, and there is a fair bit of activity, but very little noise (at least for interior apartments).
