This place is in what seems to be the safest neighborhood in NY. Anything you could need is within walking distance. We went to go see a show at the Avant Gardner and were easily able to walk there and back in under 20 minutes... feeling safe the whole way. If you arrive late like we did 9-10pm parking may be a pain in the arse. We had to circle the block a few times till a spot opened up. One of the only things that kind of erked me was the fact that you could see through the door of the upstairs neighbors, and hear every word they said and every step they took. We are from Maine so we are use to a little bit more privacy. But still good good value for the money and I would definitely return if we ever were back in the area. We even made friends with the people who were staying next door!
