Dorka is a sweet lady, she got all the way down to the road to welcome us. She is very communicative, and made our stay very pleasant.
Very convenient location to get to places. It’s also super close to the NYBG. Good value for the money - you get what you pay for. The place is pretty decent. Only thing I’d say is, we may have noticed two used towels still hanging on the hangers. She had extra two more so that’s what we used. Those towels may not have been used, but it’s odd for clean unused towels to be just hanging on hangers as if it was hung to dry. But, we didn’t ask her so we don’t know. At night, it could get pretty loud from the street noises (music playing in the neighborhood). We drowned it with the air conditioner, but if you’re a light sleeper, might be a little tough. The bed was a spring mattress - a little uncomfortable for me, but that’s personal preference having slept on foam mattresses.
But, consider the price tag, and the trade offs. Will I stay again at Dorka’s place? Undoubtedly, when I’m going to be around Bronx and spend more time at the NYBG (I’m also a member of NYBG). But, otherwise, the cost of 40-45mins to get to mid-lower Manhattan is not worth it for me.
