Takeshi’s apartment is all you’d ever need in a visit to NYC. Centrally located to the subways and ferry’s within a 15 minute walk. Great value with lots of great restaurants around. I highly recommend Scarr’s Pizza and Supper. Only point of note is there is a few homeless individuals that hang around the street and the stoop. However, the one encounter we had the gentleman was kind enough to move no problem and our further encounters were avoided by going through the adjoining building through the shared backyard
