I cannot believe how wonderful our stay was at Brenda's place. It was a beautiful place lots of room for both my friend and I. The beds were so very comfortable and we felt safe at all times. The place was perfect for our needs, close to the Subway station, excellent food at Sylvia's a short walk away and despite the odd hours we were keeping, getting up at 4am or coming back at 6am our host was very understanding. The street itself was beautiful and tree lined and we did enjoy having access to the back garden area even though our schedule gave us very little time to enjoy it. Brenda and her daughter were the perfect hosts, checking in from time to time, providing bottled water, which we were very grateful for as it was so hot the week we were there. The air conditioning units helped to keep out oasis cool and comfortable. They also respected our privacy and made sure to text or ring the doorbell before entering. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here if you are planning an extended stay and I do hope to be able to visit and stay again in the future. This place is a real gem and so are Brenda and her lovely daughter.
