Sam and Fay's place is a perfect spot.
It was a 10-15 minute walk to trains or subways that would take you into the city. Nice quiet neighborhood. Beautiful accommodations. Separate entrance and in-unit bathroom gives a great sense of privacy.
The bed and pillows were literally the most comfortable I'd ever slept on while traveling. The shower had amazing water pressure.
The room was spacious by NY standards.
My only note is that as a basement unit, you can hear people move around upstairs. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper.
