I felt welcome from the start and was grateful for the help given in getting my bag up the two flights of stairs to the room (and down again when I left), as well as quick help when I had some problems with the heating. Loved the neighborhood, which is very lively and safe. The subway station on Roosevelt Ave. at 74th Street is a hub for several lines, providing easy and fast connections to all over the city, which was important to me. I was also happy to find a Blink fitness center just a couple of blocks down Roosevelt Ave. where I could work out.
