For us the flat was just what we needed - lots of space with a separate bedroom which meant with jet lag we could move around at night without disturbing eachother! The area is really interesting with lots of street art to see and some great spots nearby for eating and having a drink. As the subway (overground) passes just in front of the sitting room window it is rather noisy ... luckily the bedroom is on the other side. The street itself is of course rather dark because of the subway, but it does mean that getting into Manhattan is really easy. The bedroom is light and the bed is fantastically comfortable. the shrine room isn't very comfortable but we enjoyed living with Kimyon's art work.
