The apartment is secure and in a safe neighbourhood even late at night. There is a direct train to Times Square to catch Broadway plays. The digital lock system for the room greatly enhances security. There is a good seafood restaurant nearby called Off the Hook with the best grilled oysters in the world. I stayed for 16 nights with no issues. Only downside is there are five rooms sharing a single toilet. There is no cooking allowed. This place is a great alternative to Brooklyn. There are nearby grocery stores and restaurants. The walk to the subway is safe at night. The decor of this town house and interior is nostalgic. The room rate is value for money.
