Olu's place has a great location. You can walk to Utica Av Sta (either A/C or 3/4 line) within 5-6 minutes. If you take an express train from there, it's about 10-15 minutes to Lower Manhattan. There is a police station right next door, so I felt quite safe even in the evening. There was occasional traffic noise, but it wasn't an issue since there was a bottle-full of ear plugs in the room. The room is as described -- no frills yet comfortable. If you are looking for an affordable accommodation with a convenient location, I highly recommend it!
