This is a stunning place to stay in NYC. My first time off Manhattan in the 15 years I've been coming to the city and I loved it so much. The area is wonderful - really only takes 20 minutes into the heart of it if you plan properly - and the two major subway stops are between 1 minute and 15 minutes away. The neighbourhood is so gorgeous and full of great cafes and shops - we had brekkie every day at 5 Leaves (amazing coffee and food) and walking down Bedford Ave had everything you could ask for. The place itself is so comfortable - the top floor of a three story house - so warm, quiet, and beautifully decked out. Joseph's taste is perfection. Big, natural light, the bed is one of the comfiest I've slept on - super safe and private. Could not recommend this place more highly.
