Tanya’s place is amazing for many reasons. I stayed for a month while I trained at a local hospital and if I’m back in NYC, this will be my first choice to stay and I would recommend it to friends and family. Everything was clean, she had little toiletries and a bunch of towels set out for me, there’s lots of things to cook with and she had a set of cupboards and side of the fridge cleared out for me to use.
I was often out late at night and felt safe coming back alone to the area via either the 4 train at Mosholu Parkway or the B/D train at Bedford Park Blvd. Both trains are about a 6 min walk and made it super easy to get into Manhattan. There are two grocery stores within 5 minutes walking (CTown was my fave) and a laundromat across the road from CTown.
Tanya is lovely as well, she was very welcoming and friendly but also let me have my space and privacy. She gave me suggestions on where to shop and what gyms were in the area which was very helpful. Her cat is very sweet and friendly, I will miss hanging out with the little dude.
