First time in New York City and this was an amazing place to stay. The neighborhood is wonderful and Petrona is very kind and extremely helpful. Her communication is extremely fast and she will get back to you in a matter of minutes. Yes, it's far away from the city but you don't really think about that after how impressive her service is!! Highly recommend this spot for beginners and for those who want to stay in a quieter part of town, away from the busy city!
