We couldn't ask for a better location to stay. It was a short walking distance from an incredible organic market that had a full buffet, organic juice, smoothie, and sandwich bar, and the freshest produce I've seen since living in California. The metro is caddy corner to the market, and there were plenty of restaurants nearby that we walked to when we didn't feel like going into manhattan. The apartment itself is spacious, surprisingly quiet, easy to access (a few steps from the sidewalk), with an off street parking spot on the property which was a life saver! Our host, Gladys is very friendly and accommodating.
