Amanda's apartment is very homey, comfortable, and has a particularly well equipped kitchen (probably the best of any Airbnb apartment I have ever stayed in). Amanda was very responsive and helpful and provided all the little details that make on feel at home (use of everything in the kitchen, ample bathroom supplies etc). Although it is a bit of a walk to the subway, the apartment is well connected to Manhattan (I went into Manhattan every day and could get to Grand Central in less than 30min if all trains work as they're supposed to). There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area, from traditional old Italian neighborhood joints to the latest hipster hotspots. Overall I had a very enjoyable stay and can highly recommend Amanda's place.
