My dad, sister and I stayed at Assiati's for 5 days. To sum up our experience in one word: GREAT!
Check in and out were super easy and as described. When we arrived the apartment was super clean and as described/shown in the pictures.
The area is amazing. There is an abundance of great food around the area. Assiati and her husband recommended a couple of places that we checked out (they were amazing) and we also explored on our own and found some other great places. The train station is close and very walkable. Once at the train station the A-line takes you everywhere you need to go, in 30 mins.
Ast but not least the hosts. Assiati and her husband were great hosts. They met us the evening we arrived and gave us a warm welcome to heir home and the neighborhood. They recommended some great places to eat and get some drinks. Assiati's husband also recommended exploring the city by bike, which I would recommend everyone does.
They were both readily available if anything came up and very timely in their responses. We couldn't have asked for better hosts.
To sum it up: if you're looking for a place to stay that is in a lovely neighborhood away from the craziness that can be NYC, stay here. You won't regret it.
