This was a great stay. We had fairly high expectations based on the photos, location and other reviews, but even those were exceeded. The house is quiet yet convenient. It's only two blocks from a stop on the A and C lines, which made getting around simple even for a non-NYer. The neighborhood has been gentrified, but without eliminating the everyday lives of the longer-term residents. Grocery and drug stores are nearby, and the neighborhood is quite safe (even at night) and easy to get around.
The flat was pleasant and comfortable, well decorated but not overdone, with ample privacy for two friends traveling together. Coffee, tea, milk and treats were provided. My environmental allergies gave me no trouble at all. Ephriam provided hypoallergenic bedding and the flat was spotless.
Ephriam and Justice (his dog) welcomed us on arrival and were a quiet but welcome presence throughout our stay. Ephriam gave excellent advice, immediately took care of everything we needed, and checked in to make sure we were happy and comfortable. We'll be back!
