Good location about 5 minute walk from the subway. Good deli on Nostrand just a couple of minutes away. Good New Orleans style restaurant, "Catfish", 10-15 minute walk. The space could use a little TLC but it is a good value for NYC. Comfortable beds. Kitchen is compact but you will probably only be doing breakfast anyway. Interesting sites are 9/11 Memorial, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Empire State Building, Ellis Island, Central Park, usual tourist stops. Go as early as possible to get around easier. Lines can be pretty long late morning, early afternoon. Once you learn the subway system getting around is pretty easy.
