I have been in this apartment for 3 months, the truth is that I am very happy because it is well located (in my case) to Midtown Manhattan it is only 20 minutes if you take the express subway. The neighborhood is full of skin color but all the people are very friendly, they don't do anything, I felt safe in this area. The bad thing about the apartment is that there is no dining room and the supermarket is a little far (10 minutes on foot). I will stay in this apartment again when I return to NYC without a doubt. Thanks.
