We spent a lot of time looking for an affordable, private place to stay in Manhattan, and this listing is a real find. Plus there's an elevator! The apartment is cute, clean and spacious (although the lobby is not as fancy as the photo). We were there Thursday-Monday, and the building and the block were clean and quiet. Two blocks over on Broadway, there's busy street life, with lots of people, shopping and restaurants. It's convenient to major subway lines and bus routes; we went up to the Bronx and down to the Village, no problem, sometimes coming home after midnight. This is a great listing for people who are familiar with an urban environment.
