The value for the location is so worth it. It’s about a 3 minute walk to the nearest bus stop that takes you right to the subway. About 45 minutes one way until you’re in Manhattan. The host and his wife were very accommodating and let us drop our bags off hours early which was so kind.
A couple things to note, it is a bit noisy just due to it being an old house and you being in the basement in which a family resides. Headphones and a noise machine did the trick for us. Secondly, I’m quite tall and the ceilings are about 6 foot max so just be prepared to duck if you’re on the taller side. It is a basement apartment so that’s pretty normal. The bathroom was well lit and clean and I found the bed pretty comfortable. The community is a pretty quiet one and the diner down the street has GREAT pancakes and Waffles and they’re open 24/7 with free delivery. It’s a win win.
