thankyou Susan & Chalo , we really enjoyed our stay.lots of room and felt just like we were at home.if we return to new york i would not hesitate in staying with you and would recommend you to any one i know.there was everything we needed and just a few minutes away from the subway.david,debbi & nicholas brighton u.k.

I really enjoyed our short stay in New York and could not fault Susan and Chalo who made us feel welcome and did everything to help us enjoy our brief stay.
The accomodation is spacious and well kept - I am not a fan of staying in a basement appartment but this was a minor inconvenience for all the space and decent shower. The AirCon was essential for that time of year - thanks.
Our only problem was the walk to the Subway (all NY subways look rough) - I am sure it looks worse than it really is and its only a few minutes walk away but it felt uncomfortable walking it in the dark; too many movies probably.
The journey into Manhattan is short (20 mins) if the B train turns up, or about 30mins to Times sq if the Q appears. I would have preferred to stay right in the middle of Manhattan just so we could have stayed late in the centre but for a family of four it was too expensive in peak season.
I ended up with a taste of Brooklyn though and some nice memories. Thanks Susan for all your help in advance of our arrival.

We loved our stay here. The 'suite' consisted of a bedroom, living room with tv and bathroom. Everywhere was clean and the whole place felt like a well-cared-for home. Breakfast was good and included cereals, juice, coffee etc. as well as either croissants or bagels (extra nice). Lots of info was provided and the friendly hosts, Susan and Chalo knew lots too. They recommended a good local bar with a strange bowling alley inside! I think we paid $150 per night for the 2 of us, but perhaps it was less?!

If you're thinking of staying in Manhatten - don't. From Dekoven Suites you cvan be there in 20/25 minutes, including the 5 minute walk to the station. Brooklyn is far more interesting and has better night life.

Special thanks to Susan and Chalo for sorting us out on our final night too.

... Susan & Chalo for the very first time, that you immediately feel like "family"! For first time visitors to NYC, you couldn't ask for better guides. And after a long day in the city, it was relaxing to come "home" to a cozy little neighborhood in Brooklyn. Dekoven suites' location is ideal being just a stone's throw from the subway and, incidentally, just a couple of blocks from the most charming little Italian restaurant. NY really does it up for the holiday season-- we had a fabulous time sight-seeing and eating! Thank you so much for participating in our project, Susan & Chalo!! :)
