Great place for a few friends. Tema accommodated us for an early check in which was highly appreciated. It was clean, well kept, and beautifully furnished. I would not suggest for young kids as you can hear the sounds from upstairs and some exposed pipes but we did not mind, as it was in the description and it is a basement, so it was expected. The nice furnishing, and comfortable environment definitely highlights this place, and I would count it as a hidden gem, since it’s hard to find affordable listings in NYC. Keep in mind it is almost and hour from downtown and Manhattan if you were to commute. It was nice to have the bus stop right in front of the house. There were some walkable convenient stores down the road. And the area seemed pretty safe snd not as loud as other areas. There’s not much if you are looking for nearby nightlife.
