If you looking for an affordable place to stay when visiting NYC and Manhattan, this is the place to be! You can sleep with 5, for us that's a plus and you will be within 30 minutes by train(subway) in Manhattan. If you walk around the corner at Mr Beans , you will be in within the minute at the subwaystation Flasbush , train 2 ( or 5 ) takes you with ease to Manhattan . If you walk around the corner at Jerk Chicken , across the street there is a grocery, every morning we choose to get fresh bread and fruits for our breakfast. The space is big enough for us 5 ( 2 adults and 3 kids ) , with 2 bedrooms , a big kitchen and shower/bath and also a seperate toilet. We did not spent a lot of time there, usually left around 10.00 and back around 20.00/21.00 , so why spent a lot of money on a ( 2 for us 5 ) hotel room? For us het was real value for the money we paid! Alicia your host is so sweet and attentive, and responded so helpfully to our requests. The neighbourhood you are in is an active one, but once inside you do not hear any traffic ( ex police/fire sirens ) or other busy-ness from the street. I would recommend to everyone who wants to pay attention on his budget while travelling!
