De's apartment is conveniently located near the Steinway train station, and is in a clean and quiet neighborhood. Although the apartment is somewhat old, De has cleverly decorated it with nice touches which makes living pleasing and comfortable. Besides, i was most impressed by the helpfulness and thoughtfulness of De in making sure that we did not have to worry about getting any daily necessities ourselves. She had all coffees, pastas, milk, butter, biscuits, juices, wines, paper towels, bath towels, toilet items.... and these were all of good quality and plentiful.
