Brinton's place was a nice refuge to return to after a fast-paced day out and about in NYC. The unit was just as described and was perfect for my stay. He has made a real effort to make this place comfortable and accommodating for guests.
The location was great ...close to a Whole Foods for easy grocery shopping, a Starbucks for your morning, mid-day, & evening caffeine fix, and right by a 2/3 Subway stop. That being said, the subway proximity should also be noted that you WILL be aware of the trains passing by almost underneath the building. You kinda get used to it after a few days but not entirely. The other positives still make Brinton's unit a worthwhile option if you need to be north of 96th Street in Manhattan but I felt I would be doing a disservice to others if I did not mention this element. I had read other reviews discussing the street noise (again, you kinda get used to it) but had not read anything about the subway.
Overall, I was pleased with my choice in Brinton's place. :)
