This was perfect for us as our son & family live in the area. We walked back at night and felt perfectly safe, especially on St. nicholas & Frederick Douglas, busy streets. We enjoyed breakfast at NBHD coffee shop and used Key super market both 140th & F. Douglas blvd. Very close to local subway , lovely City College & Alexander Hamilton's home & surrounding park.
If unfamiliar with NY apartments (windows only front & back) it will seem dark at first, but plenty of lights. Has all we want, good couch & chair for reading, desk for working (sigh), chests in BR & full kitchen. We loved the funky decor. 1 caution, light sleeper might find noisy AC too noisy.
