This studio apartment in a big apartment building is like many older units I've seen in Manhattan, one big open room with couch, bed, and table; tiny kitchen with two stove plates, sink, mini frig, and microwave. There's the bathroom with tub and handheld shower. And the studio has a cute balcony as a bonus! This unit faces a courtyard instead of the metro stop on the other side of the building, so it's fairly quiet. There are three coded entrances between you and the door of the apartment. The vibe is young and diverse in this area-- reminded me a bit of edges of Camden Town in London (without the massive market and stores). And she is right that a metro entrance is directly across the street from the gated apartment entrance. We were able to hop on and get to where we needed to go in about 20 minutes. Worked great for two people using the couch-bed and bed! thank you!
