Kathryn's flat was just what I expected. I was looking for something less expensive than a hotel that I could easily get to and from downtown Manhattan. The subway station was a 10-15 minute walk, and the area was realativly quite (not a lot of city noise). I had my own set of keys so I could come and go as I please. I didn't check out much in the way of restaurants nearby, but there are options around the subway station. Kathryn's apartment is a great option if you want a little break from the constant hustle and bustle of downtown.
