The apt. is located in a calm and nice neighborhood quite colsed to the main subway in NY (A,C blue Line) Utica, 10 min. walking. Nearby you can find a good restaurant and bakery ( Saraghina ) as well as a good music and chilly bar (Lunatica) in addition to convenience shops.
Surely a good place to stay if you want to take a rest out of the frenzy of Manhattan.
