We had a really great stay at Julian’s and Michelle’s place. They are super friendly hosts and the appartement is clean and spacious. Everything you need is there and the outside area is a nice place to chill when you take a break from the city. The closest subway station is a 12-15 minute walk and it takes a while to get to Manhattan (20 minutes lower manhattan, 40min upper manhattan). You take either the A or the E line which goes directly.
