My husband and I stayed here the first week of December. As mentioned in other reviews, the location is fantastic! You are only a few minutes walk to the Subway, which will take you anywhere you need to go around the city (Subway rides varied anywhere from 20 minutes to 35 minutes, depending upon where you wanted to go in the city). My husband and I felt safe in the neighborhood, even when we came back in the dark, after exploring the city all day! The bed was incredibly comfortable and the apartment was just as pictured. Patricia checked in with us after our arrival, which was thoughtful. We had a question during our stay and she responded quickly to that as well. If you are looking to save money, I would highly recommend staying here verses in a hotel. On a side note, after talking with several locals, we discovered that the New York neighborhoods have changed so much. A lot of the neighborhoods that were once thought to not be "good, safe" neighborhoods, now are. Many people have moved out of the city (so expensive) into these neighborhoods, changing the neighborhood dynamics.
Wonderful stay! Wonderful experience! Thank you Patricia!
