Roommates are warm and welcoming. Really close by to some great ethnic areas, both Hispanic and Asian with some good and affordable eating options. Closer to 30 mins away from the city but still conveniently located about 5 streets away from the closest station (59th) due to construction on the 53rd St stop circa 06/2017. Nice selection of books for casual reading, an electric keyboard that teaches you how to play, and a spot to set up your laptop. Comfortably accommodates two people.
