POV: tourist from TX that has only been to NY a few times
So this place is really good for it's value because it's a cute private spot, clean, and I'd say a 10-20 minute walk from public transportation stops! My partner and I used MTA the whole trip and it didn't feel like a burden commuting from the bnb to areas like lower Manhattan or Bushwick. Is it a quick 25 minute subway to these locations? No, but again the 50ish minutes it took to travel to places from the bnb didn't feel like a hassle at all and helped us explore the city more. (You're not really enjoying NYC if you don't spend time navigating the subways lol) Just want to give perspective on how transportation would go :)
There were also pretty good corner stores/grocery stores in the neighborhood if you needed to stop and grab anything. Debra was very kind! Great stay overall :)
