This is a great place for the value: very clean, nice and warm in cold weather, and the hosts are very responsive to any problem you encounter. The neighborhood is really great, with excellent food marts and wine shops. Plus it's on the R subway line, which connects with virtually every major subway line in the city, whether on the east side, west side or going through Midtown to Queens. Plus a 15-minute walk gets you to Propsect Park.
