We have family a few blocks away so the location was perfectly located for walking back & forth. Charn's 2nd story walk-up was super clean and nicely stocked. She was very quick to respond to our texts. Be prepared for the typical 24/7 noises of city life and the need to move your car according to the city's street cleaning schedule. Parking is challenging but we always found a space within a block or two. There are interesting bodegas, coffee shops, restaurants, and bakeries on every corner. The neighborhood felt safe even in the evening.
