François welcomed us in a charming and well heated basement flat on a cold winter afternoon which is always appreciable. He also let us with a list of the best restaurants of the area. Most of them are within a 5 minutes radius from the apartment. So is the Path which will take you to the World Trade Center in 10 minutes or to the 33rd Street in approximately 20 minutes. If you are flying from Newark airport a taxi will take you there in 20 minutes and cost $42. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice and affordable place to stay while visiting New York.
