Alternative to a hotel stay

Are you looking to live like a New Yorker while you visit the city?  A friend just visited Manhattan and stayed at http://1015nyc.com/.  They have five units right near Bryant Park in the heart of mid-town.  There are 2 two bedroom suites, 2 one bedroom suites and 1 studio.  The two bedroom units can sleep 6 in two queen beds and a queen sofa sleeper.  The one bedroom sleeps 4 in a queen bed and a queen sofa sleeper.  All have fully equipped kitchens and have been remodeled recently.  The only downsides I see is are that it is a walk-up --- no elevators, and they have no luggage storage if your flight is much later than the 11 am checkout.  Rates for the 2 bedroom range from $299 to $499, one bedroom $289 to $489 and studio.  Although looking at their availability calendar online, there are some great mid week bargains to be had such as the 2 bedroom for $179 per night for a Monday/Tuesday in November.
