We were happy with our choice. The apartment was spacious, clean and good value for money. We were able to check in using a lockbox. Never met the hosts, but Kendra was quick to reply to our messages and also left some chocolates to welcome us to the apartment. The apartment is 5-7 min walk to the metro and about 20-25 min ride to downtown Manhattan. There are many nice cafes for breakfast nearby (there are restaurants for dinner too, but we never went there). The neighborhood was nice and felt safe.
