We wanted to visit NYC and have our own place and be able to park and use the public transit. This place met these criteria, and it was totally easy to get there and check in and get in and out. Communication was good. For our purpose, which was to spend time in Manhattan, this turned out to be a bit distant. It takes about an hour to get down there by subway including walking time, and the subway system is a bit tricky with weekend closures. The neighborhood immediately around the apartment is kind of cool to walk around and see all the creative things homeowners have done with wrought iron and chrome. TAllerton Ave subway station is in a sort of working class retail area that reminded me of downtown Merida.
