Rosy is the sweetest lady, she took good care of me in the short time that I was I New York. The neighborhood gave me a safe feeling, which is a very important thing for me. It’s an hour and about 15 minutes from the house to Manhattan by public transport, but it’s an easy route, including one bus and then only 2 trains. There’s a lot of Spanish in the neighborhood though, if you know Spanish it is even better.
