The place is way more spacious than what I was expecting. Very Spanish oriented area which was awesome for the food. Subway 5 min walk away. 30 min to Times Square. I wouldn’t waste too much time looking for parking. We used the lot on Sherman. Rates aren’t horrible. Fruit stands with all kinds of fruit were out daily. You’re definitely right in the mix with how the locals live. Overall, great stay & awesome area. I’d come again 100%
