Great location near two of the subway lines. Taxi stand opposite the rental. Nice grocery store 50 yards away and small bodega literally next door to the building. Was quiet. We mostly used the apartment for sleeping and for cooking breakfast. The washer/dryer did not have instructions in our language so read PDF online. If have a lot of laundry, save time by going to laundromat. The oven controls for broil, bake, etc, are supposed to be on one of the oven knobs but are mostly worn off so have to guess. We weren’t there for the washer/dryer or oven so was not a hassle for us and did not seek help figuring those out and perhaps we missed something obvious. Gerald is very responsive if you have a question! Great location, was quiet and would absolutely rent again.
