The apartment is well set-up and is within easy walking distance of two subway stations (about 5 minutes), and is close to a new Whole Foods supermarket (10 blocks downtown on 125th St). Lots of interesting and historic sights to see in the neighbourhood, including the Apollo Theatre, Hamilton Grange, street art, and there are restaurants and cafes selling food from all around the world.
Getting to the big tourist attractions downtown is quick and easy using public transport. I used the free Cityplanner app and a 7-day metrocard to get around.
Be aware that there's no lift (elevator) in the building so you need to be able to get your luggage - and yourself - up and down stairs.
Leesa is friendly and welcoming. She checked in to make sure everything was okay during my stay, and provided hearty breakfast supplies (sausage, eggs, juice, croissant, fresh fruit, coffee & tea). Checking in/out was easy and went smoothly. I would definitely stay here again on a visit to New York City.
