I think the location is good, apartman is just some steps away from the D subway which takes you directly to Manhattan, anywhere there. Shops are surrounded, all is nearby. Yankee stadium two or three stations away. We stayed from Friday till Saturday (8 nights) on weekends had more noises from the streets, like music, those who hard to sleep I recommend earplug. But actually if you guys walking 20-25 km/day you will be good and happy to sleep. Weekdays it was calm, no party at all. I can really recommend this place not even for short term staying, all we needed was just there and with this price is awesome. Not too long and further ways. Had some party in downtown and 1 AM could easy to take the subway. In conclusion, I have nothing to complain! Take this place ;)
