We stayed here for a 4 day trip to NYC with my parents and teen children. The location was very convenient to the subway system (across the street) for getting to and from places. The area around the apartment seemed safe but was a bit dirty with a lot of garbage on the street. Parking would have been no problem if we had a car. The apartment could benefit from another air conditioner as it was very warm in the apartment despite the many fans that were provided. The place was comfortable and great for gathering at the end of the day. There were several markets close by for picking up groceries.
