I moved away from NYC seven years ago and this was the last neighborhood I lived in, so it was like coming home. It is nice to have an apartment to stay in when visiting NYC that is away from the Manhattan hustle and bustle. This is a great value. The location is great because it is very close to the subway and walkable to Bedford Ave. It's also not very touristy, which is nice. Right downstairs is Le Gamin, an authentic and adorable french bistro. Hosts are easy to get in touch with and accomodating--we even hung out!
