Great apartment! Pretty close to Madison Square Garden, which was the main purpose for our visit. We did have some trouble with people lingering right outside the front door which was slightly worrying as two girls trying to get into the building. Other than that, none of the men were outwardly rude and they did move on after we waited a few minutes on the opposite street corner. I would just be aware of this if you are looking at Maria's place. Overall we had a wonderful time and we didn't feel unsafe inside the building.
