This apartment is in an amazing and safe location. Close to the metro Q and 6 trains which will take you easily to most of Manhattan and connections for other trains. I could go to a show on Broadway and be back to the apartment in 20 minutes! There are MANY grocery stores, restaurants and delis on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Av. It is also very close to the Museum Mile and Central Park. It is very clean and the management is so friendly and helpful. If you aren't able to climb steps, be sure and ask on which floor the apartment is located. I walked up 5 flights which worked for me.
