Finola and her husband made us feel very welcome during our stay. After a long flight we were so grateful for the snacks and drinks they had provided for us. The flat is cosy and very clean and we felt at home there for our 9 days.
The apartment is underneath the hosts living space so you can hear the family walking about in the morning, so if you are a very light sleeper and want a lie in then I suggest earplugs. We were fine though as we were always up early anyway. The area is very safe and quiet, with great access to the Subway for Manhattan.
