We very much enjoyed our stay ar Desmar's place, it looked bigger than in the photos and was freshly renovated. Rather quiet, nicely private, with a lot of light and newly re-made wooden floors. Desmar was a great host who communicated on time, kindly answered all our requests, and gave us many good tips - for ex. about a big supermarket in vicinity (with great selection of fruits, veg., fresh seafood stuff, etc) and a smaller shop. There is a basic kitchen equipment and we cooked a lot. It is also a good location with 2 Metro (2, 4) lines to central NY running around the corner from the appartment. It was a grat place to stay and to return to after visiting the city - the house has a lot of atmosphere. We would like to return there some day.
