Sylvia's place was nice and cozy, had cable and was right down the street from several shops and restaurants. It's a 15 minute ride on the subway into Manhattan from the place, and the subway is 4 blocks down the road. Great location and very safe neighborhood. Sylvia was very hospitable, but definitely gives you your privacy which I appreciate. Overall a great deal on a safe place to stay in the city. We plan on coming back soon!
