Carolyn made us feel right at home during our stay. She allowed us to drop off our bags early so that we could go straight into the city. The room was very clean and much larger than anticipated. The bed was SO comfortable. The bedroom is in the basement, so it was very private. And she provided a continental breakfast every morning. Such a beautiful neighborhood. Loved the area. There is nothing negative I have to say about my stay here. It was absolutely perfect. The only notes I want to add in my review for future people is this: Note, if you are going into Manhattan, we took the F train from 179th Jamaica station. The metro card gets you free bus rides and you can take the bus from her house to that station, but it's a 35 minute ride. A Lyft cost us $14.80 and was a ten minute ride. Use my code victoria576302 for a free ride on Lyft and victoriah3159ue on Uber. Times square is a good center spot for people going into the city. It is about a 45 minute subway ride to times square. And about an hour subway ride to the One World Trade Center which is Lower Manhattan. Highly recommend Carolyn's room. Perfect place to stay.
