Great place. Apartment is excellent and clean. The neighbourhood can seem to some to be a little intimidating at first but I really grew to love it and wish I'd done more locally. The local restaurant Basil is great and recommended but expensive. Always check your bill no matter where you go. The 3 train on Kingston avenue will take you everywhere in manhatton and get the metro card....its the best way to travel...don't be afraid of the subway...it's safe and cheap. Me, my wife, and 15 yr old came and stayed for a week. We travelled the neighbourhood and subway as late as past midnight no problem. I highly recommend Andre's apartment. If you arrive late make sure you know where to eat or eat before hand as we struggled first night and the takeaway delivery places did not understand a word I was saying when ordering pizza or Chinese. None of these are negatives though, just advice to make your stay more enjoyable.
