Funky fun place. Neighborhood felt safe, steps to lovely park and lots of restaurants. We had fabulous time 16 min walk to Astoria ferry, cheap ride to Wallstreet, 15 min walk to Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island cruise, walk to 9/11 memorial, and back home, pizza on the way. Great time! Big fridge for leftovers. Cons: A little dust, and some confusion on my part that I think host wanted me to check in AT 2, not any time AFTER 2, and also had wanted to communicate with me about a checkout procedure, but I had left early in the morning so we failed to communicate on that. And rumbling noise from nearby bridge may bother some people, but I got used to it quickly. I do recommend this place.
