I lived in this place for a month ant it was great. Its 7 min walk from the subway station which has a direct train to manhattan (you can be in time square in 30min). it feels like home...very warm ambiance. Very quite, great internet wifi. It does get noisy some nights as it is the first floor apartment. Justa made me feel at home...cooked me a very delicious meal one time. It is great place to read, write and just enjoy New York. Would stay here again if I am ever back.
