This basement apartment is very cozy. The faux fireplace heater and large screen tv makes it a perfect place to hide out, sleep in, and do one's work. The decor is fun, uplifting, and takes into account the fact that it is a basement studio. Great value living space for a no frills, comfortable stay. Just down the street are some of the Bronx's best pizza (it's the real deal) and Caribbean cuisine. The Botanical Gardens are a plus. Manny is very hospitable and check in was easy. Building is quiet. Bodega nearby is nice. Overall a great experience.
