My stay at Gloria's place was great! The place is way bigger than I imagined. The apartment is 1.5 blocks away from the closest metro station (less than a 5 minute walk) - so its very easy to get to Manhattan. I stayed here for a medical school rotation at a local hospital and her location was great. If you need to bus anywhere in the Bronx there are many bus stops steps from the apartment. I felt safe walking around the apartment and there was plenty of grocery stores and a variety of food places nearby. My favorite places were John & Joe's pizzeria, Tacos El Bronco II, and Dukagini Burek.
Gloria keeps her apartment clean and even made me some delicious dinners while I stayed with her! There is laundry in the basement which is convenient because you don't have to leave the building.
I recommend staying here if you are looking for a place to stay in the Bronx.
