I was in New York for work...and for a week-end when a friend came to join me. This was the PERFECT place to stay. Super close to a good subway station without being scary for a single woman. Very diverse neighborhood, so I didn't stand out. Close enough to Manhattan, so I could commute in - and see a show and still get home at a reasonable time. And also close to Brighton Beach and Coney Island. We rode a roller coaster for the first time in a zillion years. :-) Access is easy and private. Will & Kim are very responsive and think of all the little things that make staying in their place a joy. Note that it is close to the train line and can seem noisy...but, like others have said, I slept like a baby and didn't even notice. Instead, it was a total bonus because the station is so close.
