We loved the apartment and the location, although far North, is actually very convenient to everything. Either get on the #6 at 96th and transfer to the #4 express at 86th street or just walk to 86th street. "Ideal Grocery", is an excellent grocery store at 103rd and Lexington (that is the actual name). Always felt safe at night, never a problem. If we had multiple people here, we would definitely stay at this place again (we were traveling with someone else and needed two bedrooms). Highly recommended!!
