My mom and I stayed with Fatu for Halloween 2016 - our first ever trip to New York City. WE LOVED IT! I couldn't have found a better place to stay. Great neighborhood, easily accessible to buses and the Nostrand ave A/C train station that goes direct to Manhattan.
The room was wonderful and 100% accurate to the photos. Fatu's family was SO nice and welcoming when we arrived. We stayed in Cozy and Clean #5 on the top floor and it was perfectly suited to our needs. The big screen plasma TV and bonus powder room in our closet and multiple mirrors made us feel like NYC princesses, haha.
The shared common areas were clean and the bathrooms and kitchens were clean also. Had a great time and felt very safe! Will stay here again when we return to New York. Warm host and had a great time.
