My mom and I stayed in the Blue House for our first trip to NYC and really enjoyed our stay! I personally didn’t want to stay in Manhattan, even though it could’ve made tourist sight seeing easier. That being said, if you want to see parts of NYC like Brooklyn, the Blue House is in the perfect, residential location. The subway is a short walk away with easy access to express trains, but keep in mind that this means you will need 15-45 mins to get to your destination in Manhattan.
The space itself is newly renovated and very clean. There’s more than enough space for two people — a family of four would be perfectly comfortable in the apartment. We never personally met Yenting, but she was very accommodating to whatever we may have needed. I would highly recommend staying at the Blue House and would love to stay here again!
