Our stay was nothing short of amazing! The subway that goes directly to Manhattan is about 2 blocks down the street. The rooftop of the building has a great view of the skyline. The area is very safe and right next to a police station. Starbucks is also right down the street. There is a ton of street parking, just might have to circle the block a few times to find a good spot, our car was safe a few blocks away all weekend.
