Ashley's garden apartment was a great place for us to stay. We had just finished up spending a couple of weeks in Nolita in Manhattan, and this was a much needed quieter, calmer respite from that. The apartment was well stocked, and we generally were very comfortable.
The neighborhood was beautiful, with had plenty to do, and was very close to the subway and public transit. We were able to get into the city in 30 mins flat, and never felt too far from anything. Her recommendations for what to do were also excellent - definitely check out Paulie Gee's Slice Shop!
