Yiotas place is a decent place to stay and pretty close to subway. My wife is a very light sleeper, so the subway bothered her. So if you're a light sleeper, take that into consideration. Backtracking on weekends can be time consuming with the metro map. Most of that issue has to do with us being really confused about the subway maps and what changes there are on weekends and late nights. Of course that has nothing to do with the place itself. Not the prettiest place to stay, but for the price and proximity, it's a good deal for staying in NYC.
