Albena's place exceeded my expectations! The neighborhood is adorable, kind of tucked in and compact, with lots of restaurants and shops within 2-5 minutes of walking. The apartment was spacious (MUCH bigger than the average Brooklyn apartment) in a well-maintained "classic Bronx" building. Room itself was huge and clean, and right next to the bathroom which maintained a sense of privacy. Albena was a great hostess: cordial, friendly, quiet. One tip: Arrive EARLY evening to maximize parking opportunities (before 7pm): I arrived closer to 8pm and had to rove around a bit to park. Thanks Albena for a great stay!
