The safehouse is a huge improvement over the [[South Bohan Safehouse]] (which, unlike the [[Broker Safehouse]], remains accessible), and is superior to the [[Alderney Safehouse|next safehouse]] obtained later in the game. | ||
Around the same time of acquiring this safehouse, Niko can "earn" (depending on a decision made by the player, in the mission [[The Holland Play]]) [[Playboy X's Penthouse|another one]] in [[Algonquin]], which is an improvement over this one. | Around the same time of acquiring this safehouse, Niko can "earn" (depending on a decision made by the player, in the mission [[The Holland Play]]) [[Playboy X's Penthouse|another one]] in [[Algonquin]], which is an improvement over this one. | ||

The safehouse is well equipped and very modern, including a bedroom with a king-sized bed and a cow-skin carpet, a wine cellar in the back, a proper kitchen with a small island, several armchairs and leather sofa in front of a [[Panoramic]] flat-screen TV, and a laptop which can be used to log on to the in-game [[Internet in GTA IV|internet]] for free. There is an inaccessible door like the other safehouses, which likely leads to the bathroom. | The safehouse is well equipped and very modern, including a bedroom with a king-sized bed and a cow-skin carpet, a wine cellar in the back, a proper kitchen with a small island, several armchairs and leather sofa in front of a [[Panoramic]] flat-screen TV, and a laptop which can be used to log on to the in-game [[Internet in GTA IV|internet]] for free.

The immediate vicinity has two locations of note: a [[Grotti]] dealership that can be entered and a [[Turismo]] stolen (handy to know for dating those with high-end vehicle preferences), and [[Alexandra Chilton]]'s home is only a few blocks away. An entrance to the [[Quartz East LTA|Quartz East]] subway station is just to the north. | The immediate vicinity has two locations of note: a [[Grotti]] dealership that can be entered and a [[Turismo]] stolen (handy to know for dating those with high-end vehicle preferences), and [[Alexandra Chilton]]'s home is only a few blocks away. An entrance to the [[Quartz East LTA|Quartz East]] subway station is just to the north, and the safehouse, being located near the river, has arguably the best views of any of the safehouses (though only from the street level). | ||

* The Middle Park East safehouse is a perfect place to obtain the "One Man Army" [[Achievements in GTA IV|achievement/trophy]]. To do this the player has to do the following: access the internet on the safehouse's laptop and go to [[littlelacysurprisepageant.com]] inside the apartment, therefore gaining a five star wanted level. The player must then either activate the "increase wanted level" cheat (this does not block any achievements) or head down to the lobby and kill police officers that come in. As soon as the player kills enough police officers to get bumped up to six stars or gains a six star wanted level with the first method, immediately head back for the elevator to the apartment. The player will have six stars, but the police won't be able to follow you up. Set down the controller, go make yourself a sandwich, and come back to a new achievement. When the player has achieved the achievement, save your game, and you'll be back to full health with the wanted level wiped out. | * The Middle Park East safehouse is a perfect place to obtain the "One Man Army" [[Achievements in GTA IV|achievement/trophy]].

* Traffic in front of this safehouse is extremely heavy. As such it's common for cars in the "residents parking" space to be hit and sometimes even pushed out of the parking spot (Niko needs to repark these vehicles in order to make sure they are saved). If Roman's [[Express Car Service|taxi service]] is used to travel to the safehouse, the driver may run into the parked cars too. | * Traffic in front of this safehouse is extremely heavy. As such it's common for cars in the "residents parking" space to be hit and sometimes even pushed out of the parking spot (Niko needs to repark these vehicles in order to make sure they are saved). Also, opened doors on cars saved will sometimes get torn off from traffic, the best way to avoid this is to park the cars FACING traffic than parking along so that the driver's door opens up to the sidewalk. If Roman's [[Express Car Service|taxi service]] is used to travel to the safehouse, the driver may run into the parked cars too. | ||
