Rosaly's place is amazing. It is only about 4 blocks to the subway which means you can explore NYC conveniently. Plus you are staying in a historic brownstone.
My son and I stayed at her lovely home for 3 nights and were greeted with smiles when we saw her and her family. The house was very clean and our room was equally tidy.
If you are looking for an affordable, safe, and clean place to stay, Rosaly's should be your first choice.
