We stayed in New York for two weeks and our room at Sidney's house was a cozy base camp for our daily expeditions into the asphalt jungle. Manhattan is just 30 minutes away with the subway and Flatbush provides lots of stores and opportunities to eat and have a coffee. Sidney was a great host full of ideas and advice what to do and how to get around in the Big Apple. Highly recommended if you are looking for an inexpensive room in a quiet neighbourhood.
