Some would describe the apartment as small, but for New York standards it was roomy and well planned! (It was important for me that i could do some work on my laptop in the morning, and that worked out well) A clean apartment with a full, functional kitchen.
Subway on walking distance, and if you take the subway, why not make a detour (at least once) to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade the incredible view on Manhattan is for free. All this in a very nice neighbourhood.
