We had a good stay at the Miss T's apartment. It was cozy and welcoming. She was very pleasant and friendly. She offered to pick us up from the airport, and also show us around the neighborhood - where the restaurants, subway, etc. were located. It's a busy area, not isolated. Lots of noises, color and interest. If you are used to quiet, this place is not for you. This is after all, city-living!! The train track is elevated, and is level with the third floor apartment. We could hear it regularly from about 7 a.m. till midnight. After awhile, we did not even notice it, as it blended in with the hum of the city noises. At the end of our visit Miss T even offered to take us back to the airport. We have enjoyed our first visit to NY, and Miss T's warm welcome and her apartment was a big part of it.
