Stay with Bia. She's a great and generous host, always ready with information and snacks. The apartment is in a perfect location, right next to the bus stop, the four train, Costco, target, a small athletic park; everything a traveler could need for an extended stay. The neighborhood is safe (I'm a tall, conspicuous guy, and everyone was friendly and patient with my enthusiastic "howdy"'s), and within walking distance of famous NY mainstays like Patsy's Pizza and Rao's. I gave her five stars, and would recommend her to anyone interested in having a fantastic stay for what is, frankly, an unbeatable price.
