Myrdith is a lovely host. We had difficulties getting there and were very late at night and she was still so welcoming! The apartment was perfect for out needs. Everything needed for cooking, wifi, lounge, Air conditioning (very welcome) and comfy beds. We all slept well! It seems to be a tradition to leave unfinished toiletries for others, so there is plenty of stuff there to tide you over for your first night or two. Also some food stuffs. Thanks to the person who left some beer in the fridge for our first night! Oh yes, and there are loads of fabulous large original oil paintings of a sort of Afro theme - mostly beautiful people: done by someone with real talent!
Local shopping good, short walks to three subway stations, Money back on some beer bottles and cans! Friendly people in the neighbourhood. Good laundrette nearby, and we loved two pubs - very locally 1) Mekelberg's, with good food, a good choice of craft beers and a deli selling top foods/ and a short ride away, and 2) Barcade, which was full of great craft beers to choose from and dozens of vintage arcade games to play!
If we return to NY we will definitely ask to stay with Myrdith again.
