We were happy with our stay for the price. It is near the C subway stop (Kingston-Throop) but a slightly further walk to the express A stop. Street parking was not hard to find - a big plus. It is not a destination neighborhood and some might find the immediate neighborhood a little gritty. We are from a big city and stayed with our three young children and felt fine. We were pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was for the city and the apartment is truly sunny and cheerful. The owner was very responsive and made sure that all needs were met. We would return to this place if visiting NYC again.
