Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Subways are a fantastic option for travel.
The Seneca Avenue M-train and the Halsey Street L-train station are a 15 minute walk to our home and both take you into the city. M-train is nice because it’s above ground and you get fantastic views of the city going over the Williamsburg Bridge. L-train is much faster.
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Uber and Lyft are great options for transportation.
We use Uber and Lyft to get around town if the subway the best option.
