Elizabeth's place was exactly as described and we were very comfortable there for two nights. It is very close to Central Park so we spent a lot of time exploring there in the evenings. We found good food nearby, and the apartment is very quiet so we slept well. Parking was available for free on a street nearby which was a plus. The neighborhood felt quite safe throughout the day and into the early evening (we were not out late). We did have to step around a couple of people who were sleeping at the doorstep of one of the businesses next door in the middle of the day at one point which was strange but not overly concerning -- that was definitely not the norm of the neighborhood. I would certainly stay at Elizabeth's apartment again in the future.
