Stafeno’s place was ideally located for our visit to NYC. We were 3 adults and a 6 year old. Nearby were great restaurants, grocery stores, and a playground. The ambience in the neighborhood was suitable for families. Distance to subway was short and quick ride to Manhattan. I look for cleanliness in places I stay - it was so clean. Beds were comfortable. There are no doors on the bedroom if you need privacy. We were fine and felt private due to the shotgun style of the home. Kitchen was good for making breakfast and lunches. We would definitely stay there again. Our host greeted us at the door and had a loaf of fresh Italian bread to welcome us. Great books on his shelves.
