Charlene's basement apartment is a great place to stay while you're visiting NYC. The two bedrooms, plus the two futons provide ample space to hang out, take a nap, or crash for the night. The space is well laid out so you don't feel like you're on top of everyone you're traveling with either! The apartment seemed to be centrally located and averaged about 30-45 minutes travel time any where you'd want to go, but plan for an hour if it's a heavy traffic time. It's affordable, easy to find, and Charlene is fantastic at keeping in contact if you need her, but won't over crowd your space at all. Wonderful all around!
