Rosa was great, getting in touch just when I needed her to. My arrival was somewhat later than I'd expected, and she was fine with that. She clearly explained everything I needed to know about staying there. The apartment is just as described, an old-world-style, roomy, comfortable apartment. As others have said, it's extremely convenient to the subway. I also recommend taking the East River Ferry to Manhattan--for $4 (summer 2016), you get a 10-minute ride with terrific views of the Manhattan and the bridges nearby. The closest stop is just over half a mile from Rosa's place.
