We enjoyed our stay with Gonzalo, Nora (haven't met her) and Lorenzo very much!!
The appartment was cozy and had everything we needed during our stay.
When the appartment above is occupied also, it can be a little noisy as you can hear every footstep they make, but we were out and about for most of the day, so it didn't really bother us.
There were bikes to use as well and Gonzalo was very helpfull with tips about where to go/eat and sites to visit. He even offered to take us on a bike tour!
The busstop was about a three-minute walk and the bus takes you to the subway station in about 10. The whole trip to central Manhattan would take us about 40 minutes.
Supermarket in the near vicinity as well as restaurants, drugstores and a lovely diner, so everything one would need within an armsreach.
The neighbourhood felt safe too....walking around after dark was no trouble at all.
All in all, we would highly recommend this appartment and would seriously consider staying here again if we visited New York again!!
