Althea and her husband were incredibly accommodating and kind! We were in the city for the Marathon and enjoyed staying at this location. They are close to the subway, stores, food, etc. but it was also quiet. I had brought earplugs just in case and did not need them at all. You have the charm of it being an older structure (neat architecture details) while having modern convenience of free wifi. We felt safe here, found parking easily, and were able to get to manhattan easily with subways, uber, etc.

The smaller bedroom, is attached within another bedroom, while the third bedroom is more separate-on the other side of the living room. There is a crib available. The kitchen had what we needed (toaster oven, oven, fridge, microwave, water heater, any dishes we needed) and I love that they recycle.

Walking up to the apartment was not bad, even after a marathon ;) They encourage you to remove shoes to maintain the property. As Floridians, we were worried that it would be cold since we could not find the thermostat, but the heat did come on and the temperature in the apartment was comfortable during our entire stay, despite fluctuating temperatures outside.

It was easy to communicate with the host before and during the stay. They had nice surprises for the guests (chocolate!) and guidebooks as well.
