Rachid made us very welcome. His communication prior to our stay was excellent and the arrangement to meet and receive the keys and further instructions was punctual. The apartment is lovely and was exactly as described and the pictures were accurate. The apartment is spacious and comfortable; there is plenty of light and even a small balcony to sit on if the weather is nice. The kitchen is well equipped. The location is very good - close to the J train for simple access to Manhattan.
