We loved the stay here! The amenities were definitely the best part! We were able to make meals and watch TV, use an iron, etc. and there were toiletries! There were no windows, as other reviews have said, but that was fine with us because we didn't stay at the apartment all that long, plus there is always the backyard door! Ground floor does not mean street-level (we got a bit confused trying to find it, but it worked out in the end). It is pretty far from Manhattan, the main NYC, but it took maybe 40 min, and the subway was very frequent, which is not bad at all, as staying closer would probably be more expensive. Also, we wanted to see places in Brooklyn as well so it was very convenient. However, we were a bit apprehensive walking around the neighbourhood at night, but that is with any city, you just have to pay attention and be careful (and uber if you need to)!
