My parents and I had a lovely 10-night stay at Julian and Karen's apartment. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated. The location is extremely convenient, with only 3 blocks to the J train stop! There's also a supermarket, seafood market, Rite Aid, Popeye, liquor store and other convenience stores steps away from the apartment. We came back home after 11pm almost every day and felt safe walking in the neighborhood. Julian and Karen were very friendly and responsive at requests. I would recommend this place to other NYC explorers looking for value places to stay!
