We absolutely loved this place! I feel it's always nice to stay in someone's home, rather than a unit that's clearly been furnished purely for rental. This apartment - which is quite large by NYC standards - had that personal touch and made us feel right at home.
The immediately surrounding area is amazing. There are a handful of great new-ish restaurants, bars, and cafes right around the corner that we wished we'd had more time to explore. It's very walkable (including across the bridge to East Harlem), but it's worth noting that the walk to/from the nearest subway (the 6) at night takes you through some less charming blocks. We walked all over during the day, but less so at night. Personal preference!
