Joe gave a very warm welcome and a good tour around explaining all the particulars. The apartment is well located, just a very little walk to the subway line and the neighborhood has many deli's and two supermarket in close proximity.
The apartment is very spacious for NY standards and easily housed our family of six with teenagers from 15 onward. Good kitchen to prepare breakfast and an occasional diner. The movie room was great for our sons - check the pictures provided in the ad. WiFi worked well and great have to access addresses as one time one signal went weak.
It was extremely nice of Carmia to keep our bags in her own apartment at the last days (when other guest already moved into the rental) - certainly realizing that she had worked a night shift.
We would recommend the apartment highly and its good hosts!
