We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment didn't feel like a basement. It was bright and clean and comfortable. It was close to St John's University, which is what we wanted. But also convenient to public transportation to get to Manhattan and to the airport. Lots of great restaurant options near by. Thomas was very responsive and helpful. He let us check out late because we had a late flight. It was nice to have coffee and tea service available in the room. I will definitely be staying here again.
