This apt had everything we needed, including some basic toiletries. We felt safe and secure, and just a few blocks down is 13th ave, which has everything. Pastosa pasta is down the block and a luncheonett right next door. We were disappointed that there was no cable, and we had no apps on our phone, so we had no TV at all. But if you have the apps, its no problem. The only bad thing is the train outside your window that runs all night long is very loud. So you'll have to play white noise loud on your phone all night. Other then that, its a nice place for the money.
