I had a nice stay at Anthony's house. It is located in a diverse Brooklyn neighborhood, within a couple minutes of walk to the subway station. It takes about 30 minutes to get to downtown Manhattan. The house is simple and basic, but clean and efficiently run. As a cat lover, the highlight of my stay was meeting Anthony's two kitty cats. One of them is a very sweet and gentle blind cat who maneuvers up and down the house like a boss (despite having to deal with strangers' scent constantly). If you are look for a rare budget stay while in New York, I would recommend Anthony's house.
