We stayed at Simon's brownstone for the better part of a week in the beginning of August. Simon was a wonderful host who made us feel welcome and did an excellent job of showing us the space and giving us advice regarding restaurants, grocery stores, and transportation. The apartment was wonderful with a clean, modern decor and more than enough space for the two of us. The neighborhood was perfect in numerous ways including (but not limited to) great restaurants, easy access to the subway and the M60 bus to La Guardia, grocery stores, and entertainment.
