Our stay at Caroline's place was great. Caroline and her mom made sure that me and my friends are feeling comfortable, it was cosy and really clean. There's a kitchen so if you want to prepare a meal it won't be a problem. I can assure you that it's easy to reach Manhattan by subway within 30min, so if you have concerns about the distance you shouldn't. The station is literally 5min away from the building. We are satisfied with our experience with Caroline and I do recommend her place.
