We stayed for two weeks. This place really works if you want to be in a vibrant up-and-coming neighborhood and are interested in going into Manhattan. The subway is only half a block away and in 3 stops you're in Chinatown. It's a low-cost alternative to staying in Manhattan. The apartment was comfortable, large, and in a beautiful building. (We marveled often at the building's front doors.) Our hosts were attentive to our needs and even invited us to dinner! We would definitely stay there again.
