The Scene – This seven-year-old B&B-like guesthouse offers a tranquil respite from its surrounding neighborhood.

smartest place to stay while in nyc!

An oasis on Second Avenue!
This has by far been the most pleasant place I have found in all my years of traveling to the city!
immaculate clean rooms, 20 foot ceilings, beautiful skylight ceiling at the top of the stairs, very discreet, (there is no sign outside), all with reasonable prices!, host Billy macagnone brings all of his years growing up in the restaurant business with his family to running this hotel, you will get discount meals at any one of his dads 3 famous Italian restaurants! Also his knowledge of growing up in Manhattan will astound you if you need any information on getting anywhere or what to do, just ask him!! for sure you will get a gracious answer, this place is usually fully booked, but with only 8 rooms it never feel full, I would reserve as much in advance as you can, I cant wait to go back!

- Pros: great deal!
Disappointing experience
by tbrown333
The last review prior to this one was in 6/07 and things have definitely changed. We found the service unfriendly, the management unaccommodating, and the room uncomfortable (noisy). Very disappointing.
- Pros: Location
- Cons: Service, Noise, Management, Accounting
Homey!

This is a hidden delight! Behind the red door is classic old New York with all the comforts of home! 2nd Home is always our 1st choice for our frequent trips to the city. The beds are comfortable, and most rooms are EXTRA large by New York standards! We bring the children often and have never had a problem. It is safe and comfortable, truly a 2nd Home!!!
- Pros: Inexpensive, Quiet, Spacious
