A quiet place to rest for the night. And 2-3 mins walking from the subway with a 25-30 train ride to Manhattan. I would not recommend for someone with a car. I paid an additional $30/night on average for parking. :-/ And trying to park on the street is a hassle. I asked the host beforehand, and she said parking is free in the area but it’s literally not worth it I would have booked somewhere else had I known the reality of the situation. *cry face *
The host is kind. You’ll get a key so you can come and go as needed. The space is shared with other people, so plan your bathroom visits accordingly. That was a pain to deal with, but I guess that’s the life of a New Yorker. I got the real deal experience during my stay, and I’ll be back but without a car.
