Patricia and her daughter were great. I was greeted by Patricia's daughter at the apartment but stayed in contact with Patricia via text. It is really a great apartment. The apartment is very nice, comfortable and clean inside and seemed very secure as well. Patricia's daughter even helped carry my luggage up the 1 flight of stairs into the apartment, as there is no elevator. Several complimentary bottles of water were provided that came really handy after a long day of sight seeing. The apartment was as described. The neighborhood is predominately black, but I nor my mom experienced any problems. The subway lines 2 & 3 is 1 block 1/2 away (5-7 minute walk) and subway lines B & C was 3-4 blocks (7-10 minute walk) the opposite direction. I really enjoyed my stay in NYC and having a place with such easy access to subways and buses was a godsend. Definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again if available when I come back to NYC.
