This is a great place to land when exploring NYC. It is a 15 minute walk the subway, but mostly on quiet neighborhood streets. Very clean, felt safe, some city noise at night, but overall, pretty quiet. Nice grocery very close; we ate breakfast in the apartment and made lunches to take with us for the day. It was nice having two bedrooms and a living room to relax after returning from a long day. This place is a great value versus paying more for a tiny studio closer to Manhattan. Perk of dropping luggage early was a great added bonus since we had an early arriving flight!
