Roula was a most excellent host for NYC! She was kind enough to pick up some food for us when we arrived late our first night. She also checked on us frequently to make sure everything was tip-top shape. The apartment is above where she lives with her mom but they were very unobtrusive throughout our stay. There is one window AC unit in the living room but it is on the opposite end of the apt from the bedrooms so we had to leave all the doors open to get the bedrooms cooled off at night. The apt is on a quiet residential street and I could hardly ever hear any street noise. It's about a 10-15 minute walk from the W/N subway line. Would stay here again! A++
