This place offers a very good cost/value, the apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped. There are a few convenience stores (small delis and a Family Dollar) and a laundromat close to the apartment. The only inconvenience is that it is far from Manhattan, but there are several metro stations closeby. I suggest you to avoid the Livonia Av. metro stop, as its surroundings are very sketchy. Other than that we felt safe in the neighboorhood. I would recommend this place to other people.
