This is a very quiet and very CLEAN NYC room. Niko was careful in the pre-visit planning to make sure I had accurate directions and info on getting the key and understanding the building and apartment security. My son lives two streets from Niko so it was a wonderful place to stay. The neighborhood is vibrant with many affordable places to eat. My son was fine with me walking back to Niko's at night without his escort so the area is definitely safe. The location is very central for anyone who knows that walking around the city is the best way to discover. This is a great room for one and cozy for two, but fine as there is no reason to stay in when in NY.
