We had a really nice time, the apartment is nice and cozy and the neighbourhood is lively and kind, with a lot of shops and restaurants nearby.
There is a bus station across the street that takes you to the Union Square from where we could go anywhere up and down Manhattan. We have specially appreciated the shop nearby where we could buy a coffee in the morning and drinks in the evening and really enjoyed sitting in front and chatting with the neighbours. It felt like we are getting to know New York better from the inside, mingling with real folk from the downtown.
