If you're looking to find some quiet in New York at a reasonable price, this is the spot. We had an excellent breakfast at a coffee shop/bakery right around the corner, which is on the way to the subway (about a 15 minute walk away). Jordan was out of town during our stay, but her roommate was helpful to get us in and answer any questions we had. Our room was cozy and clean, and came with a one-sheet of recommendations for food and fun in the area. The apartment complex is modernized and clean. The apartments aren't totally sound proof (I think the upstairs neighbor was moving a bunch of furniture around one morning), but even when people across the street were playing music, there wasn't too much noise on this fairly low-traffic street. Overall, it was a cozy experience. Recommended.
