My son and I loved staying here! Ora & Scout always replied promptly, and checking in was so, so easy. The place is sparkling clean and comfortable, and the price is unbeatable! Most of what we did was in Midtown, which was a bit of a trek (about an hour from when we walked out the door to get to midtown--maybe a little less), but we EXPECTED that. If most of what you are doing is in Brooklyn or lower Manhattan, travel time would be much less. Because the price was so, so reasonable we were happy to take public transportation. (We did Uber around Brooklyn, but rates to Uber to Midtown were typically coming up around $45--depending on time of day--and so we always chose to ride the subway in and out.) There is a bus stop right outside on the corner, and we also rode the bus quite a bit to explore Brooklyn. This place was perfect for us, and we loved the balcony outside our bedroom!
