If you are making a solo visit to NYC for a day trip or for the weekend, Carlina’s place is an ideal pick. The price is incomparable, the location is kept scrupulously clean and small touches helped to make the experience especially hospitable: there was complimentary Poland Springs water in the kitchen for guests, as an example, as well as incense burned daily in the bathroom to keep it fresh! The location is very close to the 1 line on the MTA, making it easy to get anywhere you need to be within NYC.
Carlina is easy to deal with, responds promptly and cordially to any inquiries, and made checking-in a breeze. For solo travelers, this option is an easy pick and I would unhesitatingly choose Carlina’s place again on any subsequent visit.
