This place was not in a bad area as it was pretty close to the Metro so it made it easy to access public transportation. My biggest complaint is the noise. We are not used to it being so noisy at night and we could not sleep at all the first night. Luckily there was a CVS nearby and we were able to find some earplugs. After that, we were in better shape. Also, when we first got there, the entire place was pretty cold and we could not figure out how to adjust the temperature. After a couple days, it got too hot and the AC that was hooked up in one of the windows only cooled the living room which made for another rough night. I’ve never been to New York before so I really had no idea how long it would take to get to the Manhattan area so if I come again, I think I will try to find somewhere closer to Times Square.
