Christine is a very kind person and very helpful. The day we arrived she did us a little tour around the neighborhood to show us the laundry, the grocery store, the subway, etc. When we need something she just tried to help us as much as possible. Related with the apartment, our room was nice and big enough for two people. 5 min walk there is the subway (G train) which in 20-30 min takes you to Times Square and much nearer there is a great free outdoor pool!
