The room was clean and orderly as well as the common area. There was AC in the room, which was greatly appreciated! There is room in the common area to store some refrigerated goods and a few dry goods. The apartment is easy to find from Subway A, C, or 4 (about a 10 minute walk). Quite a few little local places to eat or grocery shop within a 10 minute walk, as well. The neighbors we courteous and we never felt unsafe
