I am so grateful that I found this apartment! I stayed here by myself for a month to work remotely and explore the city. I didn’t know much about the area so I was nervous at first, but now I can’t say enough good things about this place. First off, it is located right next to a fire station with a big group of firefighters, which made me feel safe knowing they were always there. Second, there is a Target like 10 feet away which was the absolute most convenient thing ever. Third, it’s quiet at night (which is rare to find in the city, I think?). Fourth and very important in my opinion…I never saw one bug, rodent or critter the entire month I stayed here… not one….(by the way I am VERY clean and do not leave one crumb of food out and everything goes in the fridge… which I think everyone should do in the city anyway)… but that in itself was the biggest relief for me because that was always my one fear about being in an apartment in Manhattan.
The building itself is older but it’s cute and has character. Wifi worked perfectly and so did everything else. Olivia is very kind, responsive and she usually works downstairs in her office space. Just call her or let her know if you need anything. As far as restaurants, there is tons of good Indian food in the area and Ruby’s cafe is super close by which I think was delicious (I went there almost every day.)
Oh, and subway is about 8 minutes of a walk away… super convenient!
This part of town really grew on me over time and I am going to miss it. It had that “true New York” feel. :,,,) Thank you so much Olivia!!
