The location is fantastic, a couple of blocks away from a subway station, so you can be in Manhattan in 15 minutes. The neighborhood is quiet and comfortable with lots of grocery shops around to stock up. Mairo's apartment is really comfortable - roomy, easy to keep warm, and with reliable internet connection if you need to work - plus, the water pressure in the shower was great! Mairo was super kind and friendly, even going so far as to help us out with a package that arrived after we had checked out. Just an overall great experience.
