Farrel’s place is a great place to stay but you have to take several key points before going there. If your plan is to spend most of your time in NYC center or downtown you may consider you have almost 50 minutes of subway to commute, + ~10 walk to take it. That is about D line, for the 4th line is a bit worse as three lines share alternatively the same path, respectively 6-8-4 so you may have to wait 15-20 minutes to get the right one. This may change sensitively your journey. If you plan to go out for a party you may consider Uber to get home as walking late in the neighborhood is intimidating. I am not saying is unsafe because I don’t know, and it probably not! but it’s definitely something. Despite those concerns Farrel is really lovely host and his place is really worthy to consider especially for more than 4 days.
