The small room is pretty noisy because of the subway running next to it and no air condition. But all in all a nice apartment & very nice roommates! |

The neighborhood where the apartment is located is a bit unsettling. However, the apartment is 2 minutes away from a subway station to get to the center of Manhattan. |

The apartment is a huge renovated loft, with a unique and tasteful decoration. Its location steps away from the subway station is great and the neighborhood is really cool, though the apartment is very noisy because of the proximity of the train when it's elevated. |

It is a big and spacious flat, OK for three months but if I had to stay longer in NY, I would have find something else in a safer neighborhood. |
