Good for a group up to 5 (could be a bit crowded but okay). You can cook and enjoy a privacy. Neighborhood in transition to expensive one. Felt safe. Good places around, like artisan bakery(Nick+Sons recommended), coffee shops and specialty groceries. Close to lower Manhattan but a bit away from upper Mann. Metro L and G nearby. Old apartment but everything is okay if you do not expect more than money you pay. At least my family enjoyed to stay here.
