Valentine's home was just what we where looking for our stay in NY City. It was a home and not just any hotel room, and we enjoyed his place very much. The location was perfect for us. The subway station Marcy Av was just a few minutes from the apartment, and in 15 minutes we where in Central Park. We explored Williamsburg, mostly by foot and it was less stressful than Manhattan. On Bedford Av it was lots of cafes, restaurants, bars and shops. We met a lot of nice, open minded and helpful people during our week in NY. Skinny Dennis was a great place to hang out, especially if you like Honky tonk and country music
