Nickolas' place does exactly what it says on the tin... While the area isn't as desirable as say, Greenwich for example, you cannot beat the price nor the hospitality. Anyway, we had no issues getting to/from the apartment with easy access to the express trains (4,5) and the local 6 train (all 4-5 blocks walk) and when you compare the price of this to the hotel we stayed in prior to Nickolas' place, you have yourself a bargain.
