I have been so excited to write this review. We (4) stayed for 7 days, and this place was honestly perfect. Sure some people say it’s “further” out but once you get the hang out the subway, it’s all fairly simple. It’s really “upper Manhattan” if we are being technical. The host was very helpful and responsive. The subway entrance is in walking distance (5 blocks). There are a lot of good things to do in this area. There is a Dunkin Donuts that is easy to get to. There is also a place called “The Chipped Cup” which we enjoyed. They also have a lot of Deli’s that are open late which carry a lot of basics. A good restaurant, that has Dominican food is called “La Rubia” hands down THE BEST. Again, everything is fairly easy to get to. It’s NOT dangerous at all. The only thing some people may have a hard time with, is the flight of stairs...meaning. There is no elevator, and this room is on the last floor (6th). But if you are good with stairs, then it’s no biggie!. I would recommend staying here, a good price for where it’s at! Overall, we all enjoyed this location and I’m glad we found it.
