I’ll start with the location - Bergen Avenue. It is very close to NYC (a 9 min walk to journal Square Station) and then a 20 min subway ride to Manhattan. Bergen avenue itself leaves much to be desired. I was not crazy about the area - while it is safe, it is not pleasant. No good cafes around, ambulance and cop car sounds several times a day and seedy (not unsafe) at night.
None of this has any bearing on the apartment itself. Eugene is very communicative, resolves any issue very quickly, and has ensured his apartment is very well stocked. Food, cleaning products - everything. Eugene has taken a lot of care of his apartment and you can see it. If you want a clean, nice apartment to stay in while you travel often to Manhattan, this is it.
