This location cannot be beat. It was very convenient to get to Manhatten and there were countless restaurants within walking distance. Joe was a good host and it was easy sharing the apartment with him. The apartment itself is a ground level apartment and kind of smells like a basement which didn't bother us much. If you're looking to have a 5 star hotel experience this is not the right place for you, but if you want to feel like a local New Yorker then Joe's apartment is a great option.
