Awesome apartment for a very reasonable price given it's proximity to Grand Street Station. From here you can get the L line directly into the centre in only 10 minutes. All major attractions are within half an hour door to door.
If you're looking for nightlife then Brooklyn is a great area with numerous bars within walking distance or a short train away. Christian was a very communicative host and gave a fantastic recommendation of a rooftop bar (The Wythe Hotel) which gives views over Manhattan. Would definitely stay here again when coming back!
