I stayed here for 3 weeks while apartment hunting. The location itself is in a super boring orthodox Jewish neighbourhood, but as a girl traveling alone it felt safe to me. At about 30 min train ride to midtown Manhatten the price is really a steal.
I think it's important for anyone staying here to know it's really pet friendly. I brought my dog and some other guests brought 2 small dogs themselves, Daniel feeds the neighborhood stray cats in the yard and has a couple cats himself. He really keeps the place immaculate considering all the animals/ people coming and going.
