It was a lovely venue located near the subway. We used the C line into Manhatton and bougt a weekly ticket for 33 dollars. Great value. It is important to know as we didn't at the time, that late nights are serviced by the A line which during the day does not stop at the local station at Ralph Ave, but does stop at night time. Eric was most helpful for the few queries we had during the week, and outside that, left us to our own devices. The neighborhood was safe and friendly. The apartment was beautiful, clean and comfortable, and we will return again if we decide to return to New York.
