For those hesitant to visit NYC and not stay in Manhattan, let me assure you this place is ideal. Very close to the subway with two stations within a 10 minute walk and will get you to Manhattan easily. The neighborhood is great in itself with tons of restaurant and shops within walking distance of the apartment. The apartment itself is fine, parking was not a problem - find an open spot and park (took us under 5 minutes every time), and the security was super helpful. All in all, a great option considering the cost, location, and access to everything you want to see when you come to New York.
