Great location with many bars and restaurants within walking distance. Subway line a few blocks away. The apt is very roomy. Unfortunately there is construction on 6th avenue right outside the apartment. Work began as early as 8 am on a Saturday morning. It does not appear as though the work will end anytime soon. This will likely impact the street side bedroom most as we did not have much impact in the rear bedroom. The area has many beautiful brownstones, however I was expecting a slightly nicer apartment. The unit is just in okay condition and many of the floorboards were creaking and loose. There is a garden area but the grass was overgrown and not maintained. The host was very gracious, however, and allowed us to check in a few hours early. The upper level of the duplex contains the living room and unfortunately the walls are thin and the other apt was noisy with children. We spent most of our time out so this didn't bother us that much but be forewarned.
