Convenient location. About a 5-10 minute walk to subways. Ground floor unit. Area felt safe. Air conditioning is a window unit, and was not in the window when we were there. The king size bed was very comfortable! Kitchen had a gas smell. I contacted the owner and she said the fire department checked it out and it was safe. However, the smell was still present. We understood that the older buildings in NYC have some ventilation issues which could have contributed to this. TVs in every room, which was nice to unwind at the end of a long day.
