If you really want to be a New Yorker for a few days this is the best place to be. We drove, fortunately we found parking right next to the apartment. Nothing ever happened to our car during our stay. My wife and I would walk from the train station & back to the apartment and never felt unsafe. If you don’t bother people, people don’t bother you. Noise, will be a thing. So if you’re expecting quiet suburban stay, it’s not going to happen here. I’m a light sleeper, but I was so exhausted at the end of the day I was able to sleep through. Easy access into the apartment. Overall very welcoming, relaxed place to rest.
