Dragan was a great host. Check in was a breeze and the apartment was charming and clean. Plenty adequate for three. The neighborhood felt safe and the subway was just a block away. We enjoyed exploring New York more like a native than tourist; riding the subway during rush hour was a trip in people watching. However, even though Manhattan is only four stops, if Times Square is your destination, plan on a half hour commute. In our opinion, Enjoying the locals and their community was well worth the ride . We recommend.
