Jeanne was really welcoming, came down to chat with us for a while the day after we go there. The apartment is lovely, not a vast amount of natural light but who needs that, when you're going to be out and about in New York all day?! The area is lovely too, amazing $1 oysters, $3 well drinks and yummy chicken wings right around the corner from the apartment.

When you walk to the 7 train each day you get an amazing Manhattan skyline view - I was gawping at it so much I walked into a lamppost!

It's the best place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, and doesn't cost the earth unlike the hotels in New York!
