This is a spacious, clean, VERY well appointed apartment, three short blocks from the #1 subway which goes to where we wanted to go: museums and the Village - even Lincoln center. The neighborhood might not be ideal for a single woman at night, but the apartment is big enough for several single ladies for goodness sake, AND for those ladies to live very comfortably. I would not hesitate to be on the streets at night with one other woman. I was there with my husband who was more than delighted that Kareem has a tea boiler even. My husband has been known to bring his own to a hotel room, because the tea must be done just "so". We highly recommend you choose this apartment!
