Nice place in a nice neighborhood. Very spacious (for New York). Lots of room in the living room even with the futon pulled open. Lots of extra room in the bedroom. Plenty of space for a family of four. Plenty of linens, towels, pillows and blankets. Kitchen was a bit small, but substantial. Well appointed with a variety of cookware, appliances, dishes, and utensils. TV is small but good for room. Has HDMI plugs to plug in your own player. Limited channels available. AC works very well. Has delayed start feature to help cool down prior to returning home. Walk-up is quite a challenge. Unit is actually on 6th floor. Numbering starts on 2nd floor. After a couple trips, you start to get conditioned. Don't bring heavy bags.
Neighborhood is typical New York. Good ethnic diversity. Area of apartment is gentrified. Lots of folks walking dogs. Towards Broadway turns into Little Dominican. Great people and vibrancy. Felt very safe. Amazing community park just outside door. Very natural with history and pastoral setting on the water. Great local bars with great bartenders and staff. Friday and Saturday night come alive. Weeknight trivia nights great way to get to know very friendly locals. Area is very well connected to the rest of New York via two subway lines. It's a bit far out, but manageable. Definitely away from the tourists. But you can get to all of the attractions very easily.
This is great place for an extended stay.
