The building is old, but pictures show exactly what it is. We stayed 6 people, and it's big enough to sleep, hang out and eat. The neighborhood is convenient. Around the apartment you can find many options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you want to go to Manhattan, it is also very easy by train. It's close enough to walk to the main street and far enough to be quiet. Once we arrived late at night and it was safe to walk to the apartment. Everything was very nice and Lisa is a helpful and responsive host.
