Well, we’re from a smaller town so this is from a small town perspective, and the fact that I didn’t do a great job in researching the location in relation to the things we planned. If you would like to hang out in Manhattan area, Times Square, Central Park, etc, it’s not the greatest location to stay. You’ll be spending a lot on traveling back and forth. Uber instead of taxis tho The apartment itself was awesome. It has the coolest back yard with a nice porch area, plenty of space inside for 4 people, and a nice atmosphere. Both the hosts are so nice and very welcoming and helpful.The neighborhood itself isn’t the cleanest, but the majority of the people are so nice if you just smile or say hello.There’s plenty of little stores that are walking distance to grab whatever you need… The subway is about 2 blocks away, from what we found, to the D train. We, my twin 10 year old boys and a family friend, had fun riding the subway for the most part.Definitely use ur phone maps to assist!!
