Great place to stay and not too far from Manhattan at all. I came to NY not wanting to spend an arm and a leg, so chose to stay in Brooklyn. This place was perfect. It was only a 10-min walk to the subway and then about a 15-min ride to Financial District and so on. They provided a subway map which is SO helpful in planning your day and knowing which lines you’d need to switch too.
It’s a great place to stay for single travelers and families alike. There is a huge park and rec area DIRECTLY across the street. There’s a grocery store just around the corner and there’s a Dollar Tree that is on the way to and from the subway.
The apartment itself was wonderful. It was super clean and tidy. There were some stains on the couch, but that’s expected when you have a bunch of strangers staying at your place. The beds were SOOO comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. The kitchen was stocked with anything you’d need to cook a meal. The bathroom was clean and functional. I did have to go to the store and purchase conditioner, which I left there (on purpose), so hopefully the next traveler will not have to worry about that.
As silly as it sounds, my favorite thing about the apartment was the TV. It was a smart TV with loaded apps such as Amazon Prime, Hulu, ABC, etc. After a long day of walking and site seeing, it was so nice to be able to just come back and relax and catch a few shows.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit NY on a budget.
