We had a wonderful time at Mehedhis place. There was plenty of room for 5 people. It was clean and everything was exactly as described. Mehedhi and his family were very friendly, helpful and attentive. The neighborhood was safe and quiet at night, and there are a number of good places to eat nearby. The subway is only a 10 minute walk from the apartment, and the 7 train goes straight into Manhattan. So if you're planning on exploring NYC by subway, it's all very accessible.
I would recommend Mehedhis place to anyone looking for an affordable stay outside of the city center!
