That's across the street from the Time Warner Building. It's a nice area, if a bit high-rise and generic. Very busy at all hours of the day. It would be great to be so close to Central Park. Lots of train connections as well. You could do much worse.

It's very corporate. Certainly not a romantic cobblestone street in the Village. It really depends on what you want.

My ex lived on that block. Its safe, or at least i felt safe going up there are all hours of the night. There are some nice places to eat. Nice near the park. Perfect access to the subway. Lots of shopping near there too. Most likely a higher building. And yes its not very brownstone-exposed-brick-trendy if that is what you are looking for

How much are they asking you to send?

Do they want a money order or Western Union?

Does the deal seem too good to be true?

There are a lot of scams going around, please be careful.

various vacation rentals (like on vrbo etc..) usually ask for some deposit but never pay something like that upfront (in full that is, not the deposit).
