10 - 20 Sep. 2018
We arrived into Penn Station from Boston on Amtrak and used the subway to Amaya’s place.
The apartment is about 400m/5-min walk from nearest subway station served by J and M lines. If the apartment is located any closer, it would be noisy as the subway tracks are elevated above the street. It’s also reassuring to find a police car always parked near the exit of the subway station.
Our room over-looks the garden at the back of the house and with the window opened, it was very pleasant as some evenings were warm in mid-Sept.
The kitchen is well equipped but all we made were sandwiches for breakfast.
The shower has good pressure and thus very refreshing and satisfying.
There is supermarket about a minute walk from the subway station, I would encourage anyone to visit as there are usually some great deals. I had a ton of strawberries on this trip. The peaches however was a disappointment.
Overall, the apartment is as advertised—clean and safe. I found the pillows to be too soft for my liking. And if we visit NY again—we would not hesitate to stay here again.
And finally a “thank you” to Steve for showing us around the apartment and basement with laundry facility.
