Susan's place was a great apartment, in a great location, at great value. It's less than a 5 minute walk from the subway that takes you directly into the centre of Manhattan 24 hours a day.
There are lots of great breakfast places and bars around 7th avenue when you fancy something local, which is less than a 10 minute walk away. I'd recommend staying here as you get a lot more bang for your buck than in many other areas of the city!
