Stayed there with my family, listing gives great value for money, worth every dollar. Its spacious compared to other apartments you would usually stay at, at this price. Clean, very well equipped, indoor garage attached in case you have a car.
(We would usually uber, or drive to JSQ that would take us to the city. FYI Uber both way kind of ends up at same price as price of parking one would pay at garage near JSQ. )
The area is honestly not bad, and should not hinder one from picking this apt. Highly recommended listing if visiting NYC.
