Fanny's place looks just like the photos. It's cozy and great for a solo traveler or couple. I loved the showerhead in the bathroom and looking into getting one for myself. The #15 bus is across the street on 3rd Avenue, which takes you within 10 minutes to 149th Street 3rd Ave, a shopping hub, where you can catch the 2 or 5 train to Manhattan. I'm orginally from the South Bronx and though I left in 2009, I know this area very well. If you are not street-smart or comfortable in a poor neighborhood, this may not be suitable accommodation.
