This is a great little apartment. Private, clean, and away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but located to close to the L and M lines. The neighborhood is safe and Putnam Ave. has a nice community vibe. Valerie is very accommodating and great to work with. The only drawbacks are that the upstairs neighbors can be a bit noisy at times and its a takes a good 20-25 minutes to get into Manhattan via the train.
