If you’re just coming to New York City, then the location is out of the way. However, it was very convenient for us as it was close to our son’s apartment. The neighborhood is kind of rough, but there are a lot of good places to eat and we met a lot of great people from the neighborhood. We never felt unsafe walking around and we would definitely stay here again. I think Jose might only rent out two rooms in the apartment, so we only briefly saw one other person, but even so, it was great to have a private bathroom.
