GREAT location, literally a 2 minute walk to the subway. Maybe I wasn't looking in the right places, but the places around the apartment itself weren't that "hip" or appealing.. so we did almost all of our venturing in Manhattan. The apartment itself is pretty small, but it was enough for me and my friends. Wasn't able to initially get in contact with Christiana when we first checked in, but everything went well, she gave me clear instructions on how to check in beforehand (since she wasn't going to be there). Check out was very easy as well.
