As many other guests have highlighted, Andre's apartment is exactly how is depicted in pictures: very comfortable and with all the things you might need for a holiday stay in NY. It is placed two blocks away from Newkirk plaza subway station so even if the run might take 30 minutes it is nevertheless very easy to come and go from everywhere in the city.
Different from Manhattan or more residential district as Brooklyn Heights, the area round the house is calm, quiet and safe: after a long day of sightseeing you will look for a place like that! All around there are also very nice places to have breakfast (milk&honey) and dinner (ox tavern or Atlas steakhouse).
