Linda's apartment was everything advertised - and more! She was an accessible and gracious host, and the apartment was spacious, quiet, stylish, clean, and large! It is conveniently located near the M line subway, around the corner from commercial, busy Fresh Pond Road, with its range of restaurants, fruit and vegetable dealers, and markets. Ridgewood is peaceful, pretty, and quiet; an infusion of young people which has not overwhelmed the longstanding residents. A quality introduction to a New York neighborhood where New Yorkers live and thrive...but if you want to get into the city, that's no problem at all.
