This was an amazing location and a very comfortable stay. The fact that it is set in with a private patio meant that it was quiet and private. The proximity to public transportation and also to restaurants and shops made everything very simple including mealtimes and gifts for friends. It is also 2 blocks away from a municipal parking lot. This apartment had everything our little family needed to feel at home. Lots of extra linens and a washer/dryer in unit, which is a rare find in any NYC accomodation. Very easy to check in and out and every detail was thought of to make the stay and self-catering as easy as possible. Even though it was winter, my daughter and I loved the access to the backyard garden and played in the snow. The hosts were super responsive, and instructions with photos were very clear. I am originally from Brooklyn and come back to visit often, so will plan to stay here again if it's free!
