This is a great place to stay if you are visiting with a large group. It is not easy finding an Airbnb in the NYC area for 4 adults and 5 kids. Everyone had a bed and the adults had separate rooms which beats a hotel. Having a washer and dryer is a bonus when you are traveling for a week with children. The A, C and J subway lines are a 10-15 walk and you can get to most sights in NYC in 35-50 min. We took a Lyft one night from midtown and it took about 35 min to get back. There are a a lot of really good restaurants within a 10-15 min walk. I wish we had been able to try more. When given the opportunity we chose to eat in the neighborhood over the city. Bushwick is also a short ride away (or 45 minute walk) with even more great restaurants and must see street art. The only downside is that there was a lot street noise into the night in the front bedroom from people congregating down the street.
