We enjoyed our stay here! The building is an older building with two flights of stairs up so wouldn’t be appropriate for someone who needs some extra assistance up. We used it as our landing pad and didn’t spend much time in or around the apartment - just for sleeping and then we were up and exploring once again. The bed was comfy and sheets were very soft. It takes about 40 minutes on the subway to get into the main areas of Manhattan but the subway station is close by. We felt like it was a generally safe area and it was easy to check in and out. If you are willing to take the time to get from this area into Manhattan then it is good value and a spacious apartment!
