There's like, LOTS of places you can check out around Malissa's place. Heaps of businesses and restaurants that goes for blocks. There's no end in food, groceries, cafes, laundromats etc., even a couple 24 hour diners. Very close to the N or W line which goes straight into Manhattan and is about 15-20 minutes.
Malissa's place has a kitchen at your complete disposal if you're so inclined to make food for yourself, but very tempting to do so when you consider all the restaurants all around you.
Both Malissa and Kyriacos were very chill people and Malissa was so accommodating with the mosquito situation! I'm not sure what she did but they were gone the next night and she also left a bottle of mosquito repellent. Thanks so much for that, I think we can all agree that mosquitos are RUDE and she took care of them.
Overall, recommended stay for the hosts, apartment and location.
