The apartment is exactly as described: newly renovated, with brand new air-conditioning, spacious and clean. The fully equipped kitchen, washer & dryer were a huge plus. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, offers everything that visitors might need: 24hr market and pharmacy, café shops and restaurants. Subway is only 10 minutes away, and the ride to Manhattan is around 20min. Our family of four was very comfortable in the apartment, no problems at all. Julien lives on site and he is an excellent host. Very nice apartment, we were very pleased and would stay again.
