I stayed at 2nd Home on 2nd Avenue back in December, just before Christmas. It was wonderful! A simple, humble place, but SPOTLESSLY clean, as warm as toast and the owners were lovely. They helped me hike my mountain of luggage up to the floor I was on (three flights of stairs) and let me check in early and out... more

Myself and my two daughters booked Second Home after seeing all the good reviews on this site and were not disappointed in the slightest. We arrived on 28th June and stayed two nights in the Tribal room before moving into the modern apartment around the corner on 13th St. for the remaining five days of our stay. Okay, first off,... more

The hotel was pretty much as expected - kept very clean and the location is great. The new owner, Billy, was very helpful (carried my bags up the long narrow stairs) and takes good care of the place. We stayed 3 nights. About me: I normally consider myself a budget traveller who has stayed in the worst of places and... more

We recently stayed at Second Home in the Carribean Room for 11 nights, and found the reviews we had read before the trip were spot on. As 2 females travelling together we appreciated the size and space of the room, plus had the luxury of a double bed each. Carlos was very helpful when we first arrived and directed to... more

I stayed at 2nd Home on 2nd Ave from Oct 10 - Oct 15 in the Carribean single room. The place definitely exceeded my expectations, and I was happy that the accommodation had turned out so well. The B&B is ideally located – only a few blocks from Union Square. I took the subway from JFK, and I got off... more

My best friend and I stayed here for 3 nights this week. Excellent location, close to all public transportation. The biggest, cleanest room ever. Comfy beds, great towels, iron, cable, kitchen.....very very good deal. Like other posts, Carlos was wonderful to us as well...helpful, friendly and accommodating. This place is truly a hidden jewel. We had no noise probs....in fact,... more

My wife and I had a nice little 2 day stay at this guest house from October 8-10. It is located in a great area, close to lots of shops and restaurants, away from the main tourist drag, close to subway and the wonderful Sushi on St. Marks Place. The room was spotlessly clean and air conditioned (we needed it... more
