Apartment was as described. Marianny is a very obliging host. The apartment manager, Kacey, couldn't be more informative and helpful. Apartment is situated a couple of minutes walk from Shepherd Ave and Euclid Ave subway stations on the A & C blue line into Manhattan. Journey takes about 50-55 minutes. In the immediate vicinity of the apartment are a few delicatessens, a Chinese takeaway & a Jamaican restaurant. A few other stores nearby but we didn't venture beyond the two stations and spent all of our time in Manhattan so can't comment on the wider area.
