The stay as Suzette's was very nice.
The check-in and out worked seamlessly, even in late hours.
The place was nice and clean, and everything we needed was there. The only thing we missed was a washing machine, but there are many laundries I'm the neighbourhood. We can recommend 'Linden Laundry', they have friendly staff and it's super cheap.
The neighbourhood was perfect. The direct neighbour's are very nice, greeted friendly and even helped the older family members carrying luggage in the buildings entrance.
Generally the area is very safe, though at night time after 12 the people around the metro become spooky.
We highly recommend to walk one more metro station in the morning to catch some breakfast at a place called 'Bills Restaurant'. They serve breakfast and lunch at a reasonable price with tasty food being served. Directly next to it you'll find a Chinese take away called 'Hong Kong' which isn't bad either for late night snacks.
The only problem that we had during the stay was that the bedroom was very cold during the winter nights. However, Suzette responded fast and talked to the landlord and turned up the heating. However, due to some problems the temperature didn't rise above 19 °C with the heating. Suzette then gave us a space heater which worked perfectly. After that everything was warm and comfortable.
Another thing that we noticed was that the neighbour's kids can be fairly loud. But I'd didn't bother us since we were so tired from the daily trips that we didn't really notice them while asleep.
In a nutshell, the stay at Suzette's was nice a comfortable with a nice location only 45 minutes from Manhatten.
We recommend her place to families and singles and anybody who wants to enjoy New York city without missing on interacting with the locals.
Thanks for the stay Suzette!
