I enjoyed staying at Deonisis’ home. It was a nice escape from the craziness of downtown Manhattan. He was very welcoming and a great cook! He made the most delicious cookies. There is a nice night life literally 3-5 mins walking with bars that have an outdoor patios and bars with comedy nights. There’s a Starbucks, Duane Reade, CVS all with in 10-12 mins walking. Dyckman Subway is less than 5 mins away and from there it was a short 30 min transit on the A train to downtown Manhattan. I had a great time and can’t wait to visit again soon!
