Linda is an extremely welcoming host, so kind and helpful in every way. The apartment was spotlessly clean, the beds very comfortable, and Linda was very responsive and accommodating for any requests. This apartment provides basic accommodations in a safe neighborhood, and we had a very relaxing and restful stay. I would gladly return.
I also liked staying in a normal (non-touristic) residential neighborhood, where you get a feeling for how real New Yorkers live. Parking during the day is very easy, though in the evening you may need to circle the block to find a space -- but I felt very safe walking around at any time of day. There is a charming cafe 3 doors down that serves delicious fresh sandwiches and salads and excellent smoothies. And a few blocks away is a huge Hindu temple with an excellent cafeteria open to the public that serves the best dosas in New York. Yum!
