JaTarra place is lovely, clean and very comfy. You need about 30-40 mins to reach Manhattan if you go there by subway (15 mins walking + ~25 by metro to a station pretty close to Times Square), but I didn't really mind this as going back to a quiet place at the end of the day was more than welcome.
I was also lucky to have all the appartment only for myself (solo traveler here) as JaTarra's friend was on a trip.
