Great stay here. Three minute walk to the Newkirk stop on the 2 train. Very easy to get to center of Manhattan if that's your interest. We were there for an event less than a mile away so we were able to do a combination of walking and driving. Only downside to the location is if you have a car, parking is difficult. We parked a quarter mile away a couple of times but twice we got lucky and found something on the block - there are a lot of driveways on this particular block. We had to have a car for our event but otherwise I'd rely solely on public transportation. The place is as described. Spacious and clean. It could use a few more touches to make it more homey, such as bedside tables in the bedroom to set your stuff on, a couple of power strips perhaps to plug in multiple electronic devices. The place was pretty well appointed but could use those kids of touches so it wouldn't feel quite as "spare." Great stay, though, I recommend it.
