This appartment was lovely. Clean and spacious with room for putting things away. Even though it was a basement flat with little light from the outside, we found it welcoming. The linen and towels were very good quality and that was very nice. We stayed in the appartment with our son (child) who slept on the sofa bed and found it very comfy. The area is safe and the bus to the subway very frequent so transport to Manhattan very convenient. The best part of this rental was with no doubt Fred and Joan's kindness. They filled the fridge and cupboards with food, milk, coffee etc for breakfast and after our very tiring journey over that was very much appreciated. Fred explained the transport system to us, lent us the change for the 1st bus trip, lent us an umbrella and couldn't be kind enough with us. Much much better than staying in a hotel.
