We very much enjoyed staying at Rose's place. Her apartment is simply but nicely decorated and it was wonderful to be able to cook our own meals and have the benefit of three bedrooms and two bathrooms for the four of us. The two queen sized beds were very comfortable, the small bedroom futon was quite hard and rather uncomfortable. We really liked the neighbourhood; the local Chinese grocery store was wonderful and I wish we had time to go for dim sum at the popular restaurant at the top of the street.
Rose was very helpful with directions, and in providing anything extra we required.
This is a great place because of the price and interesting neighbourhood. It did take us almost an hour each way to Manhattan, but that was to be expected. We would recommend this as a place to stay.
