Jane is a lovely generous woman who will take any feedback from her guest very serious! We missed some pans to boil eggs in and Jane arranged this quite quickly for us. The room is simple but nice and quiet. You won't hear much noise from the streets. The neighbourhood is very calm and safe. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the subway station and from there you are 10 minutes away from Manhattan. If you're looking for a quiet place to stay away from the noise en busyness of NYC - you will be happy to stay here.
