While the neighborhood doesn't look the best, the accommodations did. It was a last minute stay. It wasn't easy to find from the subway with the highway crossing and construction. It didn't help that I got there late at night. Google didn't. help very well with directions at all.. On the downside, there were roaches. In the morning when I checked out, one small one crawled from underneath the cabinet next to the door. Then, when I got on the train, an even bigger one crawled out of the pocket of my backpack. That was quite unnerving, to say the least. Yes, it's New York, but this part can need left out on the streets. And before I forget, it was peaceful and I slept well.
