We loved our stay at Petrona's place! The neighbourhood could be a little lively in the evening, but nothing that would cost you sleep. It's about a 20-40 minute drive into Manhattan (depending on traffic). The place is gorgeous and Petrona has food and drinks and every amenity you could dream off. For that alone stay here, no other bnb made staying there so easy. Petrona is suuuuper friendly and sweet too. If I come back to NYC I'd stay here again for sure!
