The neighbourhood was what I expected but even more so : easy to get to ( in 20 minutes you are in Times square), multi ethnic wit loads of restaurants of a variety of countries ,lots of grandparents with children in a little park .The house is cosy with lots of flowers in the little garden in front ( should have a picture of it )and many plants inside , and the flat is incredibly clean !
Also there is a great food shop between the subway station and the house which has a great buffet and lots of ( to me ) exotic things.
