Stayed as tourist. City view is pretty great. The park opposite is green and well used by community, lively and wholesome. Very much in Chinatown and near to Little Italy. Neighborhood isn't unpleasant, but didn't hang out there a lot. Good for transport access uptown. Cose to Wall Street, Battery Park, and access to Brooklyn bridge or ferry stops on East River. Walking distance it is close to lower East side, Tribeca to West, financial District to the south.
