Yana's place was in a great, safe location with convenient access to subways and buses going all over Manhattan and Brooklyn within a few blocks. 15-20 minutes (walking + subway or walking + bus) to Midtown Manhattan; 25-30 to downtown Manhattan. It's a sixth floor walk-up, but this is typical for NYC. Highly recommend for those looking to stay on a quiet block close enough to the action. Lots of cute cafes/restaurants/bakeries nearby.
