Pettrina and her mother were very welcoming and warm by nature. Ny is very expensive city so you get what you pay for the money, and this was good value for money. metro 2 & 5 are block away and get you to all points in manhattan (and beyond) the others you have to take a bus. anyway, room was nice and clean for 2 persons, the hood was cool and relaxed, the only thing i wished was for sheets and towels to be changed every 4-5 days or so. Thanx Pettrina, i would love to go back to your place some day!
