My son was in the NYC area for a wedding and was going to be alone for 2 days before his flight home. So we decided to come out to keep him company. This apartment is really a good value for the New York area. Why pay the expensive NYC hotel rates when you can have a 2 bedroom apartment, fully furnished with everything you need for less than half the cost? The apartment is on a pretty tree lined street about 10 minutes from the subway. We felt safe walking to and from the subway even late at night. Renee is a great host and we would definitely stay here again on future trips.
