We had a really good stay at Edmund’s. It was especially nice to stay in a place with so much space—so rare to find in nyc. The apt is definitely minimalistic, but gets the job done, at a very reasonable price. It was about a 25 minute ride to lower Manhattan, and about 45 to Times Square. Add a bit more to that during rush hour. Very close to subway stop, which was great, and I definitely recommend Triangle Deli nearby—clean, great prices and selection!
