Giorgia's place is a great stay for your NYC trip. The place is much larger than expected and offers everything you need. There is a small supermarket, a café and a subway station right around the corner. It seemed to be a safe neighborhood whether we were coming home during the day or late at night. Be aware that the place is a few minutes away from the city so you'll need to plan 40-60 minutes to get home from Manhattan.
Finally, if you have a light sleep bring some earplugs and a sleeping mask since Giorgia's place is a little bright and loud.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this place.
