This is a great location to stay. They live right on the bus line so it's really easy to get around. I was able to get to Penn Station from their house in just over an hour. Allerton ave has a lot of stores on it, so if you're staying there longer there's plenty of places to get groceries and eat. There's also several laundromats nearby. All in all really convenient and as long as you don't mind the commute (if you're going to Manhattan regularly) well worth the price.
