We have just spent 10 days at Blake's place and it is a truly excellent space . The description is accurate to the website and it was really was for us a home from home. We are Londoners. Proximity to public transport is a stones throw away and the subway service is excellent. We purchased 7 day tickets which were circa $35 dollars each so cheap to commute from. We were a party of 4, Parents and 2 sons 12 and 18 year olds. The boys loved the large screen and apple TV. There was plenty of room and storage for us. . The air con was great as NY was very hot during our stay There are a lot of nice independent shops, bars and restaurants locally which we tended to support and use. Particular note to Porcella the local pizza place where I celebrated my birthday with 10 of our friends -the owners made a great fuss of us . The area is really safe and we got to know some of the neighbours who sat on their steps in the evenings- everyone was really friendly. We had a small issue with our shower in the week and I would like to mention that this was dealt with immediately by Eva Blake's property manager -she really is a great asset. We have no hesitatioj in recommending Blakes place
