Perfect pad to visit NYC from. 2 minute walk from the subway, which takes you everywhere in no time. We liked the non-touristy, rough around the edges, vibrant area with shops nearby. The apartment is a basement flat so doesn't have oodles of light. It is small but spacious and had everything we needed. It was four of us inc. two teenagers. We had breakfast in the morning before heading out for the day, then spent an hour or two back at the apartment before heading out for dinner and going back home to sleep. Other comments mentioned the loud noises from upstairs - we heard them a couple of times but were not bothered by them, and both times were before 8pm. If we went back to NYC, we'd go there again.
