Philips house is absolutely lovely!
It looks like in a movie and everything is clean and comfortable. Also there is a bathroom right next to the room, which you have for your own.
The neighborhood seemed to be safe and the street is not too loud.
If you want to use the subway, you have many options to get to Manhattan (ect). Every station is around 10 minutes walk.
Also there are lots of Cafés and Restaurants nearby.
We loved to stay there and totally recommend it!
