Great room located near a lot of local places to eat and the subway. Knowing nothing about NYC I was mostly concerned with safety and the area was super safe. Loved staying outside of Manhattan, and would recommend the area to anyone. The apartment itself was very clean, beautiful, and comfortable. Hans and his partner were great hosts, helped us with questions about getting around, had great recommendations of stuff to do in the neighborhood, and we had a lot of privacy despite the house being shared space. 100% would recommend!
