Katja's place is exactly how it appears in the pictures: a lovely, clean apartment with impressive kitchen and bathroom especially. It is located about 2 minutes from an L-line subway station which is a 30 minute ride into Manhattan (connections to midtown and uptown are easily served by stops on the L). Katja and her family live in the apartment below and whilst there was occasionally some noise coming up from downstairs, it was by no means anything major. There isn't much by way of places to eat or buy food in the neighbourhood so plan on where to stock the fridge up accordingly! But the apartment itself I can't fault: clean, well-equipped and conveniently located outside Manhattan but within easy reach. I would happily stay here again next time I am in the city.
Thank you Katja!
