Margaret's walk-down basement apartament, located beneath her historic house, provides a great (and inexpensive) home base from which to explore New York City, especially the Bronx and northern Manhattan. The place is small and non-descript, but contains every amenity you need (soap and shampoo in the bathroom, sugar, salt, pepper, cofee, tea in the kitchen, etc), has great heating for the fall/winter, and a very comfortable couch and bed. I would recommend this place if you're running errands or have something to do in the area, or else you're almost 1 hour away from the touristy places in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Margaret herself was wonderful: communicated proactively, always with a smile on her face, and even let me borrow a charger that I desperately needed! Definitely recommend
