Awesome location! The people in the neighborhood are friendly and fun. You walk out the apartment, there are kids playing, the fire hydrant is spewing out water, you turn back and you see the hudson river alongside the skyline. Then, you walk two blocks to the 1 bus that takes you downtown and all the way to brooklyn. There's a washateria close by and a ton of great bodegas. Think, "In the Heights." After all, you are a few blocks from washington heights. As for the apartment, it's really cozy and has great indoor temp. Great value, overall.
