We stayed at Erikas for a week beginning Labour Day weekend. We were initially concerned about the impact the Labour Day parade would have on us, but it was not that big a problem. Once it was over, we found the neighbourhood was safe and easy to walk around. Lots of good restaurants nearby, the best breakfast at Toms diner,we hung out at the Crown Inn a lot and met many friendly locals.
Subway is a 4 minute walk, 2,3 and 5 trains to Manhattan in 25 minutes!
The apartment is spotless, and bright and great shower!
One caveat is there is no air, but there was a fan, and we were able to stay cool..
Erika was extremely helpful and gracious on the phone, although we never met in person, just to busy...
Next time !
