Melody was a gracious host. Her room was the right price and met my needs perfectly. This location is well served by transit via the 4 and D train, both of which are about 5 minutes away. A warning though; if you are driving or in a taxi, this part of the Bronx is the WORST to drive to during daylight hours due to its proximity to expressways and its lack of access to the Grand Concourse from 175th St. results in the surrounding streets being severely clogged with traffic and people. Strangely enough, its not that difficult to park over here as long as you arrive before 4 pm. There are bodegas on the block where you can pick up a few essentials and a bus stops right in front of the building. Typical Bronx apartment for a super affordable price!
