We had a fantastic stay at Shawna's for 6 nights over New Years. Great neighbourhood, really safe and lots of shops and delis nearby - we would highly recommend the Olde Bagel Shoppe! We have 2 boys age 3 and 7 and the apartment was perfect for all 4 of us and there is a great playground across the street. The subway is a few blocks away and gets you into Manhattan in around 30 mins. We would definitely recommend to a friend and also the neighbours we met were very friendly.
