Jae's apartment was spotlessly clean and the furniture and equipment was new (apartment was refurbished two years ago), so the environment in the flat felt very pleasant. There was a generous supply of towels and linen, with additional duvet and blankets if required. Jae popped in during the week and responded very quickly and with great charm to a request for a minor repair.

The neighbourhood is bustling and has a sense of being 'on the up', although not quite as chic as the Bedford Avenue area. The flat is extremely convenient for the L line train into central Manhattan and there are several good grocers nearby as well as a nice bakery next to the nearby subway station.
