We booked this place based on the reviews so I hope this one helps. It was our first time ever in NY. This place was 38 minutes from Times Square. 28 minutes to Battery Park where you board the ferry for the Statue of Liberty tour. We drove everywhere. Nothing was further than 35-40 minutes. The street is very quiet and the neighborhood seemed really safe. Safety is always our biggest concern when traveling. Ayman was more than accommodating and responsive. We asked for a later check out and he was able to extend our check out by an hour. The space is literally like a hotel room with a full kitchen it’s bigger than the picture makes it seem. The only thing is that there were no washcloths but plenty of towels. My husband had to drive to the nearby Target to grab wash (7minutes away). Overall we had a great 3 nights stay and our son loved it.
