Good location, close to 2 trains and several buses. Colorful neighborhood, everything you might need is very close: food markets, restaurants, pharmacies, dry cleaners. 1 block from Fort Tryon Park--a brisk walk uphill to the Cloisters as the elevator which serves the subway station to the upper park is being replaced and won't be completed until September. One extra I did not expect--there is an ice machine in the basement!
