Edward was a great host, and makes you feel at home in his lovely apartment. Whilst It’s an old building with many original features, everything works as it should and the kitchen has everything you will need. It has easy access to the Subway and Manhattan is about four miles away. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance and also a nice park and sports complex with running track close by. I was running the NYC marathon and on a budget so this apartment was good value for money compared to accomodation in Manhattan. In terms of the neighbourhood, I didn’t always feel safe at night, as the sidewalks are poorly illuminated and lots of youths congregate in the streets. Apart from that, I had a very pleasant stay in Edward’s apartment.
