This was a fantastic place to stay. It’s a 5 min walk from the bus you take from the airport. It was also a 20 mins walk to the center places we wanted to be, which means we got to see so much. Plus, the neighborhood wasn’t touristy and had a more local feel.
Also, many of the reviews talk about the noise level. At a native NYer, I can honestly say that after 5 mins I didn’t notice it at all. It was honking horns or sirens or screaming. Just cars going by. My travel companion isn’t from NY and she had no prob either. It was a great place to stay!
