Patricia was a very gracious host and, although she was away when I stayed there, she arranged everything by phone and email so that upon my arrival everything went very smoothly. The apartment is in a very convenient location in Sunset Park near the N train- only about 15 minutes from Manhattan-and there was terrific art in the walls, including the bedroom; Patricia is an artist. Although I was out early and back late and therefore my contact was limited, every night I returned the room was cleaned, the bed made, and it was a pleasure to return to; my room looked out on trees in the back and was very quiet. Highly recommended for New Yorkers like myself who have moved away or first time tourists visiting New York; I will certainly recommend it to friends I know. The apartment is just a few blocks from Sunset Park- try the local cafe con leche at the bakeries and a great Peruvian chicken take-out a few blocks away- and go to the top of the park- it's a wonderful view!
