Amazing place and location. Price is right.
First day a gentleman came to us saying hi and offering help, he lives there, such a nice guy.
Around the neighborhood there are restaurants, small little stores to buy groceries, one of them is 24 hours and is right in front of the train station 2 blocks away from Airbnb where you can find from fruit to liquor so it is helpful late at night when coming back from Manhattan.
Neighborhood is safe. We walked from train station to place, 2 blocks, at 2 am several days with a suitcase and nothing happened. You’ll find people walking around at that time as well so it is normal.
To get to Manhattan you just need to take train #7 and that’s it, in about 15 mins you’ll be at Grand Central Station or 2 more minutes and you can drop off at Times Square.
Totally recommended place to stay.
