Obed's place is in a good location, close enough to subway stations and is safe. Also there are cool cafes and brunch spots on his street. If you take certain train lines you can be in the heart of Manhattan within 15 minutes. The photos represent the place well, so you can be confident that what you see is what you will get. My girlfriend and I stayed for 8 nights. Obed is also very accommodating and responds to concerns quickly making sure you are comfortable in your stay.
