A beautiful apartment in great condition and in a convenient location for Subway onto Manhattan and for JFK.
The apartment can comfortably host 4 or 5 and it's very spacious. All the facilities needed are there (no kettle but didn't bother us) and it's a really nice comfortable temperature (cold outside). The bathroom/shower is excellent.
The area is up and coming - you can see that it's transforming. We didn't venture out around the apartment much other than to go to the Subway and the mini markets, but everyone we bumped into was really friendly, especially the Subway staff.
Bills restaurant is right by Halsey Street station and would recommend for breakfast/pancakes/lunch before you venture out.
Teirney was excellent in all aspects and answered our questions quickly (sorry for the amount of them Teirney).
Absolutely fantastic value for money and would thoroughly recommend staying here without doubt, given a real taste of a real neighbourhood to enhance your stay in NY.
