Apartment is very cozy and the metro is across the street. It takes 15 min by train to get to Grand Central. Sunny side is also an interesting area with a lot of different cuisines near by. Note that there is only one A/C unit in the kitchen, so even with the ceiling fans it was still a bit warm to sleep. Beds were not the most comfotable too. Because the apartment is very old I personally had allergies due to the way it smells, eapecially the linens. Despite a few issues we loved our stay there, it was an authentic place and convenient location.
