Private! A great place to be secluded since it's a quiet neighborhood yet still feel like you're apart of society since everything is nearby, like union square is 5 stops away from the subway station. I wouldn't say that it's so much of a nightlife scene, although there are bars down the street but more so for older people. It's very convientent - everything like food, pharmacy, experiences is very close. I would come here if I was seeking privacy and seclusion to relax, not so much for when I'm trying to let loose and party lol. Overall the suite was beautiful and enjoyed it very much
