Had a lovely stay, and the location was in a really nice, diverse area that carried different kinds of food and culture. While it is a long way down to the Metro train to take you to Manhattan, there was a direct bus to take you there and it’s less than 7 minutes. If you are staying for more than 4-5 days, I suggest getting the unlimited 7 day pass as that gives you both the bus and subway rides, which is perfect for this and you’ll get your money’s worth.
After a long day, it was just so nice to turn on the AC (which worked very nicely, it’s so hot in NY) and there was a nice big TV and there were many free channels to choose from.
David and John were very helpful, whenever I had a question David always answered instantly. Super friendly and accommodating! No issues checking in and everything went smoothly. My only issue was that there was nowhere to hang my towels in the second floor toilet, I think it would be nice if there was a rail. Another is that WIFI was weak in the room we stayed at (#2), but it worked fine from the toilet or kitchen. Other than that it was all a comfortable stay.
All in all, very satisfied with my stay! Definitely recommend for a cheap place, nice area, never felt unsafe or dodgy. Will rebook again!
