No issues with anything unexpected. For people driving, we were able to score a spot directly in front of the apartment for every day of our stay except one. The street/neighborhood felt very safe and my teen daughter and I got back to the apartment close to midnight every night and never felt uneasy walking the 10ish min walk that late. There is a little bodega right at the subway entrance to grab drinks/snacks before heading into the city. If you come back late like we did, absolutely nothing will be open for food or snacks unless you give up your parking spot and drive 5-10min away to a gas station. The resident cat is so friendly, we loved her. : )
