This a good place to stay. Anthony (the landlord) is a kind and thoughtful man who respects your privacy and looks after the place well. The house is a typical "brownstone" and the room is on the lower floor with its own entrance. It is comfortable, clean and warm. Security bars on the doors and windows are sadly necessary - and it's the same on all the surrounding properties. The area is well served by subway and buses and there are plenty of local stores and places to eat.
