Dorina and her town house was exactly as advertised. Clean, newly remodeled, plenty of towels, etc. everything you need. It's sitting in a very nice Italian neighborhood and is just a few minutes walk to the metro ave m train that will take you anywhere you want to go in Manhattan. If you are out late through the week, to get back, you'll need to catch the The F train to Essex, then transfer to the J train and take it to Myrtle where you then can get on the M train back to metro ave station. This took us a few times to get it right but once we did it was no issue. The train is definitely the way to go. $2.65 per person gets you to all points in Manhattan.
