This lovely b&b’s proximity to two subway lines makes it an instant winner. JFK and other New York boroughs are easily accessible throughout the day (20 minute train ride to Soho). It is nevertheless in a quiet, restful residential neighbourhood, which for a light sleeper like myself is a rare luxury anywhere in New York. When the dim lamp in this apartment gets switched on, the calming energy of this mid century interior reminded me of the scent of lavender. All that is complemented by the hosts’ generous hospitality - so respectful, responsive, helpful and kind that reading their messages are heartwarming experiences. With no hesitation, I’d recommend this b&b to anyone who’s got a short term gig (although it’s got everything for an extended stay) in NYC and needs a quiet place to crash. It is as cozy as that secret leafy path only you and your best childhood buddies know.
