My friend and I had a wonderful time staying in Uri's apartment. It was our first time in NYC, so we didn't have very many expectations, but this definitely surpassed any we might've held. It was so close to everything we needed - coffee, bagels, pizza, a Walgreens - and SO close to the subway. Nothing we wanted to go see was inaccessible. It was also a very safe neighborhood and even as two young women we felt very comfortable. Would definitely recommend!
