Joan and Fred were great hosts. Fred met us when we checked in and gave us a thorough tour of the apartment. They both communicated well with us and we felt that if something was needed all we had to do was call or text (nothing was needed, they had provided well). Things were set up well and even the continental supplies for breakfast were much welcomed and enjoyed. There are several restaurants near, a small grocery, laundromat and the F train is very close. The street was quite (and I have stayed in several 4 & 5 star hotels in Manhattan and Brooklyn on very high floors and still heard a lot of street noise. We will stay here again.
