We came in for the NYC Marathon. Picked this place based on location and price. We flew into LGA and it was a very quick Uber ride. It was really nice being so close to the airport. The two closest MTA stops are walkable and worked out really well for getting to and from downtown. In retrospect the 7-day unlimited MTA pass for ~$33 would have been the best option based on Thursday-Sunday trips for the race, shows, and sightseeing. There are so many food options close by, lots of delis offer (free) delivery, and the neighborhood is great to walk around in. There was a public track 1.5 miles away I used to run and the streets are clean and flat for running as well. Kostas' mother got us checked in and she's very nice. The room is in the basement and we had extra keys to come and go whenever we wanted because of the separate door. It was really nice having a full kitchen with stove, toaster, and refrigerator since we were there for so many days and didn't want to order out every single time. Very good experience.
