Andre’s place is a fantastic stay at a great value! When we first got there, l’ll admit it’s not what you expect from Manhattan, but it is a beautiful Dominican neighborhood full of rich and lively culture! We felt safe even coming in later in the evening (sometimes as late as midnight) after taking the A train because there are almost always friendly people sitting outside talking or playing board games. The sense of community in the neighborhood made us feel safe. Take the A train to Manhattan, it takes about 25-30 minutes to Central Park, and we got from the apartment to Coney Island on the opposite end of New York lin about 50 minutes. Also, super clean, air conditioner in room so you control how hot or cool you would like it, and towels provided. Only tip I could offer is if you usually use a wash cloth, bring a couple with you, but towels were provided which was a great bonus to not have to worry about packing! Would definitely stay here again!
