We stayed at Derick's place for 5 nights while attending a photo expo at the Javits Center. It was an easy walk to the subway to get there every day and took about 45 minutes total including walking. We really appreciated being so close to the subway. The apartment was perfect for the 3 of us traveling together and we liked having a decent sized couch to relax on at the end of the day. Our only "complaint" (not really a complaint but more of an inconvenience) was that there is no thermostat in the apartment so we had to contact Derick about it being a little warm for us. There were window a/c units that we utilized to cool down the apartment.
