Cute lower level apartment, had everything we needed. Super safe and cute neighborhood with drop off laundry for $1.00 per lb just a few blocks away. Bit of a walk to get to the subway (approx 20 min) but can take the bus there to get there faster. We walked home from the subway at all hours of the night and felt safe. Gonzalo was GREAT, super friendly and gave us tons of recommendation as to where to go. The house was also easy to get into, no key, just coded door. The only thing I would say is if you want to spend most of your day in manhattan and plan to often change clothes throughout the day (like into nicer clothes for dinner/clubs) this place is a bit of a trip (45 min each way ish) back mid day. If not though, it's totally worth the money, comfortable and friendly. I think there is also a lot to explore (especially in terms of ethnic foods) on that side if you don't plan on going to manhattan every day. All in all a good experience :)
