We stayed in Josandra's apartment for 3 nights & appreciated the space after spending full days in Manhattan. It is close to 2 subway lines & a supermarket (within 5 mins walk). We were at first a bit dubious about the neighbourhood but ended up meeting neighbours who were delightful & we found everyone we met to be very kind. If you are happy to stay out of the bustle of Manhattan then I would recommend staying at this apartment.
