Arrived to NYC on a Megabus from Baltimore and Jan told us we could arrive earlier than our "scheduled" time. Took the C train down to Brooklyn from midtown Manhattan. Where the bus drops you off is kind of a pain if you have luggage. Either way, we made our way down and after a couple blocks, we arrived at Jan's place! She greeted us and came outside and showed us around the space. Couldn't have been more happy with everything. There is a small kitchen, some fresh fruit, and some chocolate babka! The bed was great and I never felt cramped.
I was in town for New York Comic Con, and I never felt like the walk to the subway was too far, even when I was running around in my costume. I really had no complaints and I think it would be super hard to find a better value for what the cost was. I'm not sure why people spend so much money to stay in Manhattan when the train ride in from Brooklyn isn't too far. and Clinton Hill is pretty close to the Brooklyn Bridge (which leads to Manhattan) so its not a super long train ride.
Thanks Jan for the awesome stay! Couldn't have asked for anything else!
