Angelo was such a gracious host! He made it really easy to co-ordinate arrival and departure time, gave us directions to local restaurants, and made us feel at home. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, and we didn't have any issues at all. The apartment is on the 4th floor but we didn't have heavy bags so this wasn't a problem for us. The area has a lot of options for food so you can easily grab a bite. We also felt safe arriving/walking around at night. The apartment is right around the corner from the subway station so it was a very easy commute into Manhattan. The station is also on the subway line to JFK Airport and it's a direct train there so you don't have to switch trains, etc. (The only thing I might say is that trains go by near the apartment so this might be a bother if you are a light sleeper. We slept just fine. Angelo also kindly provides ear plugs for folks who need them.)
