My stay at Angela's was just fine. I arrived late due to a delayed flight & a long queue at immigration, but Caz was there to let me in & show me how the keys worked. i didn't meet Angela, but she called me on Caz's phone to welcome me. As a woman staying there on my own, I felt my self & my possessions to be safe. The room was plain & clean, with a bit of street noise (but just the sounds of NY). The subway is 2 blocks away & there is a food shop across the street. A good deli/shop is a few metres down the road after you turn right at the Franklin Ave subway stairs. The apartment was large and I never saw the other woman who was also staying there as her room was a long corridor away from mine. There is a lockable walk-in closet to go with the room I had. The trains ran all night & the C line is very handy for getting where I wanted to go. I found it a slightly long subway trip into Manhattan - but hey - at this price, it was brilliant!
