The unit is great! It had rained the day before, so there was some pooled water and mosquitoes outside the entrance and on the patio, but it was manageable. The street is quiet and the apartment is spacious for NYC. The tenant upstairs has a dog who runs around quite a bit, but it isn’t a problem at night or in the early morning. It’s very close to the 2/3 train which makes it super convenient to explore the city! This space is great for anyone who wants to be close to all the touristy places in Manhattan but doesn’t want to live next to all the action.
