Safe, friendly, clean, and convenient location. Hip, lively NYU area with great restaurants in each direction. Carrol Place restaurant, which is right across the street, Sunday's brunch cannot be missed. One of the best meals of many great meals during our trip. Wood fired morning pizza with fried egg in middle is the best! Elevator and doorman a plus. The place is small but cozy and a comfortable place to lay your head at night after a long day of trekking about the city. Subway just under about 1/2 mile away and links to all major lines. Zachary was prompt and attentive from start to finish. We would stay there again.
