There are several cute cafes in the area, and easy access to the train to get to Manhattan. Location-wise, we did feel that the street wasn't super well-lit at night. However, once you get through the gate, it is nice to know you have that extra layer of safety. The streets and sidewalks also had a lot of garbage along them - make sure you watch where you're stepping. The space itself is super unique and had tons of essentials - extra sheets, plenty of towels, and an extensive array of shampoos and soaps. We did find it quite humid and musty in the basement. There is a dehumidifier and a couple of fans which helped.
