Highly recomend this place if you are a traveller with limited budget. Although not in Manhattan, this place is super close to the public transportation(less than 5min' walk to the subway station). I spent 2 nights in NYC and took the subway back every night after 10PM. I feel pretty safe doing so 'cause a bunch of people take off at the same station with ya and walk together on the road back. And u would encounter several bars when exploring the community. The only reason I won't recommend it is that the place is a little bit close to the subway, so it's not that quiet at night. If u r a light sleeper, u should think about it.
