Pros: nice neighborhood -- quiet, safe, plenty parking places, Juniper Valley park nearby, a lot of groceries around. Mark is a very nice landlord -- caring and responsive. Clean apartment. Nice kitchen -- well equipped and convenient, nice bathroom with a good shower cabin. Good linen. Reasonably priced for NY.

Cons: very low ceiling -- around 6.4 ft (I am 6.5), quite old furniture -- bed, sofa, etc., No rail on 4 stairs leading to the basement, and the stairs are uneven and high. Since this is a basement apartment, everything happening above is very well heard, though Mark and his family were very mindful of this.

Overall, a very acceptable place if you need to stay in NY for several days.
