Panthea is a really great host. The place is huge and all the necessities were provided. The area was not bad, there are lots of families and kids around the neighborhood. It'd be a bit of a commute if you are looking to visit Manhattan.
I'd recommend this place if you are planning to visit the zoo, the Bronx Little Italy, the Yankee Stadium or NY Botanical Garden. But if you are looking for a city life, I think you should look for another place.
