Stayed with jacques for the month of November. Location is great like other reviews have stated. Right next to the G line. You can hear the train now and again and the apartment is on a decently busy street with quite a few sirens. But this is NYC so that's pretty much anywhere. Personally I dont have a problem with it but if you needed complete silence this isnt for you. Jacques was a good host and helped bring my heavy boxes up the stairs which is greatly appreciated! All in all if you want to test the waters in NYC before you moved here. Or are just visiting and want an apartment vibe rather than a hotel, I would reccomend.
