The aparment is perfectly located, very close to subway station Marcy Avenue (3 minutes) and only one stop away from Manhattan (East Village). A very nice jewish neighborhood, a supermarket is very close and if you are a fan of fast food, Mc Donalds is just 200m from the subway station. I felt very safe all the time (even after midnight). If you are looking for an affordable place just to sleep, Christiana's place is it. Christiana is very friendly, waited for me at the apartment at the agreed time of my arrival. So, everything worked out fine for me.
