We had a great, 12-day stay at Tammy's place. Great value! Communication was excellent, check-in was seamless, and the apartment was very clean and comfortable. It's only a few blocks in either direction to the subway (you can catch the A and D express at 125th). There are great restaurants in the area (we particularly enjoy Vineteria) and the basement bar at the American Legion 2 doors down has live music (and cheap drinks) a couple of nights each week.
