Deren's apartment was just perfect when we arrived! Clean, and beautifully decorated! She was great with communications upon check-in, and I appreciated her willingness to answer calls and texts.
We liked the neighborhood a lot! The local bodegas were nice. We LOVED The Civil Service Cafe! FANTASTIC coffee! My son even got a haircut down the block. We were pleased with the proximity to the G, A, and C trains as we spent our week running all around the city!! It was also easy to get to LaGuardia and JFK from the apartment! (We did both.)
In short: stay at this apartment. You'll have a great experience.
