<p>I wonder if anybody who lives in NYC knows about this apartment, and how good their service may be.</p>
<p>The address is 1412 Madison Ave, which is like one or two blocks south of Mt. Sinai.</p>
<p>I am mainly concerned about the reliability of this place, that is, will they possibly cancel your reservation at the last minute? After all, this is not a hotel whose service is what we are more familiar with.</p>
<p>An alternative is to find a hotel near the grand central station, and then take a cab or subway line 6 (?) to 1468 Madison Ave. Where to get off the subway? (with a large baggage, is it very inconvenient to take the subway?) Is it possible to get hold of a cab during early morning rush hours (e.g., 7:00 am)?</p>
<p>Some said it is almost impossible to find a cab in the rush hours in NYC. Is it true?</p>
<p>Sorry about asking well too many questions in one post.</p>
<p>As you can probably tell, this is for the interview at Mt. Sinai :)</p>
<p>DS will get to NYC by train.That is the reason why I think it may be more convenient for him to catch a cab in front of Grand Central Station, if he could not catch a cab from his hotel.</p>
<p>I always think it is more convenient to catch a cab from a major airport. But I do not know how easy to do the same at a major train station like Grand Central Station. I have never been in NYC myself.</p>
<p>Maybe I worry too much as a parent, as DS was in NYC multiple times. His mom thinks it may be good to stay at the apartment that I mentioned (because it is so close to the medical school), but I am not sure. If a traveler or a group of travelers need to stay in NYC for a week, renting an apartment like this may be a good idea. But just for one night? And you need to pick up the key elsewhere and there is no front desk like you have at a hotel.</p>
