John's place was the perfect spot for my friends and I to host our Friendsgiving! It is true that the subway is literally across the street and checking in was pretty easy because even when we experienced a small hiccup, John and Francina responded immediately. Both bedrooms were true to the pictures as they were nice, spacious, and the beds warm enough for this time of year. Surprisingly, the sofa bed folded out into a large and thick mattress that was super comfortable and spacious. The bathroom wasn't super spacious (as you would expect in NYC) but comfortable enough. The kitchen, while it may seem a little narrow, was big enough to have multiple people cooking and had almost everything you would need to host a dinner, especially for a large group. The dinning room and living room area were very spacious and nicely decorated, allowing us to comfortably host the 16 guests we had at our event. Overall, the place was lovely and we would definitely stay here again. Also, despite having lots of food (and properly cleaning up after our event) we experienced no pests at all. Additionally, while it was nice to have the subway so close, due to its proximity and the fact that it is an elevated track, the noise did slightly affect the light sleepers in our group so it is something to keep in mind. Other great aspects of the location are that there are many small corner stores, shops, coffee shops (including two great Polish bakeries two doors down), and we were able to find everything we needed for our stay within walking distance.
