This is a safe, great location rental that has the essentials you need for a NY getaway. Beware there are stairs- sometimes even up from the subway due to construction, and a few steps down from the street to the entry, and from the entry to the apartment is a 3-story walk-up. No challenge if you are fit, but consider how and what you will carry up with you. The subway is very close (1/2 block) with multiple lines to conveniently get around Manhattan from midtown east. The kitchen has all the basics to make a quick meal if you want to save money in the big city, or heat up leftovers. The bathroom was spotless and had a heated floor which was a nice surprise on a chilly morning. Bed was comfortable. We would stay again.
