My sister and I spent a little over a week in the city and I don't think we would've been able to find a greater place. Alon and his girlfriend were extremely friendly and were overall fantastic people to converse with early in the morning before we all went about with our days. Between the private room and their room, you could hear the occasional noise but it was nothing too troublesome. They were extremely respectful of ensuring noise wasn't a problem. The area of the apartment is fantastic and is just steps away to the Manhattan bound L train. The neighborhood was incredibly safe. Communication was ideal. The next time I plan a visit to the city, this would be the first place I'd look back to!
