Great host, great neighborhood, great property. Easy and cheap to get into the city by bus. They are running like every 3 or 4 minutes and all of them go into Manhattan! Don't wanna go into the city? That's fine, because everything else is within a five min walk. Laundry facilities, restaurants, liquor stores, grocery stores, a 24 hour 7/11 convenient store and even a scenic park that has breathtaking views of the NYC skyline! We've all been in nice hotel rooms, but when a person's basement is 10 Times better and cheaper, it's a "no brainer". If your main destination is the Times Square area, save your money for all the pricey activities you'll be doing in the city. Most of the hotels in the city don't even offer a microwave or mini fridge but they're charging triple the price. Plus you'll be missing out on this beautiful neighborhood with the nicest people. It almost seems like they had a neighborhood meeting and told everyone we were coming so be extra nice and on their best behavior! Hahaha I'm joking, but in all seriousness, when you see a petite woman and her 7 year old daughter walking their tiny little dog at 11:30pm, you know you're in a safe neighborhood. I can't wait to visit again. I'm definitely staying at Szymon and Lily's place again if they're not booked up.
