A wonderful space for solo travellers or couples. The space is big and cosy wonderful decor and all the amenities you could need. There's a laundromat nearby that offers a drop off service for a super cheap price and the service is amazing. As for the area, it's great for getting into Manhattan with two subway stations within walking distance. I felt very safe in this neighbourhood and the people were very welcoming and polite. My only qualm would be the noise pollution coming from one of the subway lines nearby but overall would 100% stay here again for the area and apartment were everything and more that I could've wanted for my first solo trip to New York City :)
