I booked this for the purpose of having access to mostly everything in the city. I do believe that if you are going as a couple, you should book/upgrade to a bigger room because I made the mistake of booking a full for the two of us. To add on, you can sometimes hear other rooms through the walls because they are very close to each other, as we also made some noise as well, so a bigger room would help with keeping all preferred noise level in check. The hotel has many walkable food options, like restaurants and bars to the east, fast food options to the west, and a pharmacy option across the road. There is also a few tram options, with the green line right at 51st, blue and orange at 53rd, and the yellow at 59th, so access to any part of the entire city is within a walking distance. Overall, if you are young and kind of on a budget, want the full experience and need a place to stay at, just give the Pod a shot. Trust, you'll feel safe.
