Great and fun location! We enjoyed a lot walking around the area. Authentic food everywhere from various parts of the world, especially from central/south America.
We stayed here for US Open tennis, which is only 5 stops away with line 7. Just a couple min walk from the apartment to 82nd street. Line 7 also brings you to major tourist attractions in Manhattan.
Due to the prior storm, we had to drive down as our Amtrak train got cancelled. Street parking was free but pretty much occupied. Based on the research, we used 82nd Parking Garage. $25/day. It worked good to save time to drive around to find a spot and move around the car on particular days for street cleaning.
The room was spacious and private. We did not use but bunk beds can have two more people to stay if you are traveling with a group.
Great value for the convenience.
