The apartment was clean and it worked good with getting the keys in the lockbox. We met with Julian and he made us feel welcome. The J train is very close by and it will take you to downtown Manhattan, and other exchange hubs for other trains. It did take a while some days due to many trains in queue, so for us getting to Uptown Manhattan it took more than 1 hour. It was, as mentioned earlier, a bit noisy from upstairs, but it was acceptable. The neighborhood may look a bit unsafe at night, but nothing happened to us. We also used UBER when getting in very late.
We recommend this place for staying in NYC. It is good value for the money taking into account NYC prices for hotels etc.
Thank you from us!
