My family of 5 stayed at the Apartment in winter after a long air trip. It was quiet and well set up for us. We got around very easily on the express subway from the station one block away (and it is the express line). It is located in East Harlem and some people advised me not to stay there, however we were just one or 2 houses from Lennox Ave and there is always traffic on that Ave. We came home to the apartment quite a few times late at night, it was a very pleasant trip and we liked meeting local people who were very friendly. Also we could walk to Central Park and there are supermarkets very close. If you need transport, call Carmel Cars and book them on-line - we used them to get from airport to the apartment and then from apartment to catch the train.
