We spend 4 nights in Verena's apartment. It was spacious and cozy for 4 adults. It was very clean. Verena's husband came by the first day to ask if everything was ok and if we needed something.
It was a nice and safe neighbourhood . The subway is a few steps away, but it takes 45 minutes to arrive in Manhattan.
We recommend the apartment, because after an exhausting day in New York you really come home to relax!
