If you are not too good for the subway and want a lovely homebase to sleep this is it. It is a historic area and brick home so it’s not meant to be a hotel this is like the real NY experience the old apartments were charming. We really felt like part of the neighborhood with food all around us everyone was very friendly. If you want to see the city the Q train is just steps away as well as many bus lines. We got the week transit card and took transit directly from airport in the snow. Uri did not disappoint staying connected and meeting us off the train with an umbrella and shared all important details. He checked in the next day to make sure our first night went well and informed us what food places would be closed over the weekend. I’m not sure why some complain of long bus rides or subway as if they drove it would be gridlock we were happy to watch the city pass by on a train. Late night less traffic made Uber ride share a affordable choice after a wedding to get back to the apartment. We would gladly stay again and the fruit and candy on our first night was so nice and happily consumed. We felt more than safe in this apartment, so know if you NEED a tv just bring a laptop because this place is about experiencing the city at great value with kind people as hosts.
