This unit is in on the third (top) floor and is very quiet. It is charmingly decorated and spacious. We were there for four nights with our 22 year old daughter and we were very comfortable. Negra and her husband were extremely gracious and while the only thing we asked for was to extend our time, she was very quick to respond. The neighborhood is multi cultural and generational wth lots of amazing restaurants and very easy access to the subway. Manhattan is only 15-20 minutes away. My husband and I took several late evening strolls and never once felt unsafe. Definitely a nice neighborhood close in to the City. Highly recommend.
