Norah's apartment is in a fantastic neighbourhood - it's surrounded by so many deli's/restaurants/bars and there's a really strong community of friendly people. It's easy to find the subway and buses so you can get to Midtown, Brooklyn etc with no trouble.
It's well worth exploring on foot though. We can highly recommend Alphabet Scoop for amazing ice cream and Beron Beron does incredible sushi. And if you're there on a Sunday you must visit the Topkins Square Park market.
The apartment is very clean and quiet and Norah's filtered water was a nice touch. Also worthy of mentioning is the consistently hot water - great for long baths and showers! The bed is also incredibly comfortable and perfect after a long day's walk.
Fans of Netflix's "Russian Doll" will love the fact that you can see/visit some of the main locations they used for the show nearby - such as Tompkins Square Park, the Horseshoe Bar, Sunny & Anne's Deli, etc. And take a camera with you at all times - the street art here is amazing!
All in all, Norah's apartment is the perfect place to stay if you want an authentic New York experience :)
