1. The only downside of the corner location was night traffic noise but it seemed a small price to pay.

2. The best feature though has to be the location (mid-Manhattan, coupla blocks from Central Park), but also it was just across the road from a general store and a mere two or three doors away from the nearest Green deli (great breakfasts): the only downside in this respect would be night-time noise from traffic on the crossroads below: but, hey, it's New York.

3. The only downside was the quality of the carpets in the corridors and smell of cigarette smoke in the corridors of floor 6.

4. but that's another review for another place, right?)The downsides: the room has nice furnishings, but it's a bit dated; the bathroom is especially dated and a tad bit small.

5. The only downside is that the street is very noisy bit for a light sleeper like me, I just needed earplugs and it was fine.
