Gonzalo is really helpful and supportive! We stayed in the appartement with my parents for 6 nights, that was quite OK. The area is mostly nice and there are some really nice places to eat (Dunwell Doughnuts - delicious vegan doughnuts - hmmmmmm) around. Subway is within 10 minutes walking distance, enough grocery stores as well. The Subway takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get to central Manhattan.
