This place is in a great, safe location. The subway is not a far walk (10 minutes or less). It is a quick trip into the city to see the 9/11 memorial, Central Park, Times Square, etc. The apartment is great and clean. The only problem we encountered was that there was no air conditioning in the living room, so if both bedroom doors were closed it got kind of warm. Also, we have a one year old so we had to block off the stairs so that he wouldn't fall down. If I were going to stay in New York again I would definitely stay here again.
