Erica's place was great - clean and private. Looks like it was recently renovated, and it came out great.
It's a small basement apartment below their house with separate exterior access. We enjoyed having access to a full kitchen with a few utensils and loved the complimentary coffee in the mornings. We appreciated the posted suggestions for food and things to do nearby. We did try Sofia's pizza, and it was delicious - spot-on for authentic NY style pizza.
It's only a 3 minute walk to get to the nearest bus station which connects you to the rest of the public transit and makes it cheap and easy (albeit slow at times) to get into the city.
We would absolutely stay with Erica again in the future. Thanks for an easy trip!
