Monica is a very attentive host and will address any of your needs within minutes, if she's home. If you take a car there pay attention to the parking restrictions (street sweeping}. The breakfast extras provided are good but you may want to bring any special items if you're making your own breakfast. The kitchen is fully functional, there is a mini fridge/freezer. The space is very clean, comfortable, and easy to get to. The Zerega Ave. subway station, #6 train and the bus stop Bx. #4 are only 3 blocks away. Train is about 35 mins to midtown Manhattan. The bus with a transfer will take you very close to the Bronx Zoo. The pool was refreshing and would be great on a hot day. I would not recommend walking around the neighborhood late at night.
