The apartment is very well located, just 20-25 min by underground to Manhattan, 5-minute walk from the nearest station. The neighborhood is good, with a supermarket in few blocks and a grocery store next building. The self checking was very easy. Although Mary gives for rent two rooms in her apartment, we almost never saw each other. Mary is a pleasant person to talk to, very hospitable, her recommendations of where to eat were very helpful. The room and the facilities were sparkling clean. I feel very much as in home.
