This was a perfect home base for our NYC adventure. So much more spacious & comfortable (and cheaper!) than a hotel room. Very walkable neighborhood - we saw a comedy show in a barbershop, ate soooo much good food, picnicked at Tompkins Square Park, easily found the bus/subway stops to get around the rest of the area, and hit Trader Joes & Target for provisions.
Building was on a nice quiet street, but word to the wise - NYC folks reeeeally love their car horns. Obviously not the hosts fault, just part of the NYC experience. Definitely wished I had ear plugs a couple times.
