I stayed 9 days at Saeko and Teedo's "the putnam" with my son. Tha apt is excellent and exactly as you see in the pics. Very comfortable and with everything you need in a visit to NYC. The neighbourhood is fine and you'll find everything you may need around. The only con (we already knew about it) but let's say a mild one, is the distance to the subway station Utica and sometimes the time it takes to get to Manhattan. We didnt meet the owners (personally) but always responded by mail. Recomended.
