excellent location walking distance noisy air conditioning window condensation

The location is AMAZING!!! It is literally two minutes walking distance to Times Square. The proximity to transportation was convenient.

The air conditioning was noisy. The windows had condensation that would pool on the window ledge every morning, I found that annoying.
