Allen's place was nice to stay in - very clean and in a friendly neighbourhood. The subway station is close, but the local subway does take quite a long time to get into Manhattan, so we wouldn't go back to the apartment during the day. The sofa bed wasn't very big, and the apartment could have done with some more equipment, like more plates and bowls, but apart from that we had a great stay. I would recommend the apartment for anyone looking for an inexpensive place to stay in New York City.
