The apartment is well located. It is close to the subway station, so you can get into the city centre within 30 minutes and it is also close to various shops. The neighbourhood is very busy and lively. However, it can be a little noisy sometimes due to the nearby subway, especially at night. Our apartment was very nice and cosy. It's ideal for longer stays in NY. I can highly recommend it and would come back if I happened to be in NY again!
