We enjoy our stay very much. The apartment is new, very clean. Brenda's son Brandon i very pleasant and helpful. We rent the entire house for 8 of us, the owner stays on the first floor, we have the 2nd and 3rd floor, each room has own bath with shower/tub except the 3rd floor 2 rooms share one full bathroom. However, if you can't climb stairs comfortably you may find it very hard to stay there especially on the 3rd floor, since you need to climb 46 steps to get there and the stairs are steep. To get in the house, you have to climb 10 steps from the street, then each floor 18 steps, so if you stay in 3rd floor that is 46 steps. If you have heavy luggage, it is a challenge to drag up all the steps to get to 3rd floor. The kitchen, living room and dinning room are on the 3rd floor, Each room has its own air condition, TV and ceiling fan which is great for the summer. Rooms on 2nd floor have a microwave, and a small fridge, so you don't have to go up to the kitchen often. The subway is about 6 blocks from the apartment. The area looks safe, but at night we were careful to go in group only. There are many shops nearby to buy grocery, laudromat, restaurant, cafe. It takes 45-50 minutes by subway to go to Manhattan inluding walk to subway station. We did not have a car, street parking is very hard to find. Overall it is a great clean place to stay when visit NYC.
