We stayed at Nancy place for one week and the flat was big enough for the 8 of us (with two people sleeping in the living room). The neighbourhood can seem quite insecure at first glance but finally people are lovely and very helpful. we felt very safe. Nancy reached us several times during the week in order to know if we had all that we needed. The closer subway station is around 15min walking and it takes around 40min to reach Manhattan. Thanks Nancy. Sarah
