Charlie and Annika, were really friendly and kind, they answered all our questions and doubts about the city and the area. The bedroom was just as the pictures, clean and tidy(like the rest of the apartment). The bed was really comfortable. The area is safe , the subway is 5 min walk, theres also a large choice of restaurants, inexpensive meals possibilities and shops. During weekends the neighborhood can be a bit noisy(police alarm, ambulances) but during the week it is rather quiet, bear in mind that you are in NYC. We would definitely repeat our stay here if we would go to NYC again. All the best for you guys. Cheers from Switzerland
