We were in Bronx a few days to visit family, and we found even more "family" at this place - not only the hosts but also the others who visited them. The hosts are just lovely people. Morning coffee was provided (guests make the pot) and we had a section in the fridge. To us Californians, Bronx was a really new experience, but we found the neighborhood safe and actually pretty friendly. People should know that the subway is a good 10 to 15 minute walk away. The NY Botanical Garden is about a 30 minute walk away (totally beautiful place), and Manhattan is about an hour away by train.
