Roukayatou's place is the perfect place in the middle of the Bronx for someone who is in it for exploring New York on your own time and terms. It's around the corner from the bus stop that can take you to a subway line that can then take you to Manhattan, Brooklyn, and from there on, wherever you need to go. There are local groceries shops near her home as well so you can buy some supplies if needed. I attended Garden of Madness and safely walked back when it concluded. I enjoyed my time in New York and would definitely stay here again!
