the apartment was ok with everything you need inside to cook and live. located in a great neighborhood, always safe, there are some groceries, bar and restaurants around.
the closest subway station is Utica on the A/C line, which goes directly to manhattan from the south to the north, with either a local or express train. there are bus stations every blocks or two, so you can also catch the subway on the J or G line if you prefer, that's not far at all.
finally, kwab was the best host you can expect, he always answer quickly by email, gave me some ideas of stuff to do during my stay and even a medication for a migraine. thanks again about everything,
