Great place! The place was clean, comfortable and quite large. Much larger than it seems in the pictures, there is no way you'd be able to find a hotel of this size for anywhere near the cost. (and if you did, you'd be better off not staying there--yuck) Given the location it's hard to imagine the actual rent. Great location and we could always get in touch with someone if we needed something.

The neighborhood is quiet and about 6 blocks to the subway. It's tucked among a series of very nice apartments (complete with doormen) so it's obvious you're not in a rough neighborhood. Very safe. At night there is still a soft glow from the city at two of the windows, but the room sill gets very dark. Very little to no city noise at night. Absolutely zero neighbor noise. We lived in Philly and this apartment would have been a dream there.

Ran into some neighbors in the building and they were very friendly. Mary was extremely accommodating of our weird flight schedule and gave us both early and extremely late check-outs. A airport shuttle came right to the door for us for cheap. Totally awesome place. Make sure to check out the Hot & Crusty by the 77th St station. Great salt bagels.
