we stayed 14 days at sammy's place and it was better than expected : there is a lot of space in the appartment and the neighbourhood is very safe and lovely (we were back from manhattan at any hour of the night, it's totally safe). There are marketplaces and some really cool bars just near the appartment. It takes 15 / 20 minutes by subway to go to manhattan (the subway station is 5 minutes away).
just a tiny detail :the shower is quite sensitive so we have to be very delicate with the cold button to get the temperature right. besides that everything's fine. I recommand this place.
