In the not too distant past this neighborhood would have been too dicey for many, but it's fine now. It's still the hood, but it's fine, and being only two blocks from Central Park is a great bonus. Being only steps away from the subway is very convenient as well. The apartment is on the second floor looking onto the street, facing south, so lots of light. It appears to be a studio that at some point was made into two rooms, so the rooms are small, but it works well. Plenty of closet space and the kitchen is well equipped. Everything very clean. Dealing with Kaz and his colleagues was an effortlessly easy experience.
