This is a great spot to stay if you need safe and cheap accommodations. I booked this NY trip very short notice. All the spots I planned to stay were gone. This worked for the length of time I was here (and I was able to cancel and then add on my best friend with a few days notice).
For those who were looking to be on the train a lot. This is about a 15 minute walk from the Church Subway Station. Comfy bed, lively community, and some good food within walking distance. It will take you an hour to get to most spots in Manhattan. Great stay if you plan to be in Brooklyn mostly!!!
