This is very much a budget stay. The bedroom window is open directly onto the street (but reminder, this is New York, so loud noise to be expected). The apt is on the second floor. I felt very safe in the building itself. The building smelled pretty weird, but the apartment was so so clean and smelled nice. The housekeeper is super attentive. The door knob fell off of my door. You also have to dry your dishes with a towel right after washing them as there is no drying rack, which is not a big deal but kind of weird. The surrounding neighborhood is sketchy, and I heard a great deal of yelling about violent actions late at night on a couple occasions. The mattress is incredibly uncomfortable. But this is all manageable if you cannot afford anything else and want to be in this area specifically. Also, it's really really close to the subway. The internet is really fast, too.
