This was a great place to stay on our trip to NYC. We only stayed two nights but would have stayed more. Probably the biggest advantages for us were the free parking and the ease with getting into NYC. For $3.25 you take a bus located a two minute-walk from Stan's house and in about half an hour you're right in the middle of the City! Couldn't be easier. The apartment was okay, basic...you won't be cooking any gourmet meals here but I doubt most people visit NYC so they can stay in and cook! The neighborhood seemed relatively peaceful and safe. Check-in and out was easy. We had one issue with a window and after messaging Stan, someone was literally there in 10 minutes to fix it. Would stay here again and would recommend!
