I felt very safe staying in that area. & there is so much to do around you. The room is really small but you should only need it to sleep. The bed is super comfortable & so are the pillows. She is really great about keeping the place nice and clean. Very friendly and polite. It’s only four blocks from the subway & like three to Central Park, if that’s too far of a walk you probably shouldn’t be visiting the city lol. She has stuff for you to use to cook & eat but everything near by is really yummy.
