This place is great! Great accommodations and the friendly staff. I've stayed here before but the first time I book via AirBnB. One of the values of this place is a short walk to Greenpoint (Brooklyn) shops and restaurants and quick walk to Long Island City and more shops and restaurants on Vernon. Want to go to Manhattan, take the 7 train in Long Island City, 15 min from the hotel over the bridge. Want to just walk, go to Greenpoint and keep on walking to Williamsburg. Such a great central location!
