The place was clean, comfy and very close to public transportation. Especially the Keurig coffee maker saved our life a few times ;-)
Paul was our main contact in person. He was very welcoming, relaxed and patient with our questions. Response times were very quick. The info binder contained also very helpful hints. Especially Nocciola's is a nice place to eat in the evening.
The neighborhood felt like 'real life' to us, as opposed to all the glam you encounter downtown. Anyway, as we donned suit and evening gown a couple of nights to get our share of the glam, we felt it to be safer to return by taxi / Uber.
On the way to the subway, be sure to drop into the bakery on the corner 116th and 3rd in the morning: grilled cheese roll, doughnut and a small coffee for 5$ in total :-)
Transit time to midtown (Grand Central) is a 5 minutes walk to the subway, and a 16 minutes ride. At the worst this may amount to 45min (1 WTC or Battery Park).
All in all, we can very much recommend staying here.
