Alex and Shaila were brilliant hosts, helpful, easy to contact and friendly. They lent us a cot, baby bath and toys for our small son, which were much appreciated. The apartment is as stylish as pictured and is spotlessly clean, with nice quirky details. Electric appliances in particular are top quality if you cook in the apartment. The area is cool with useful shops and restaurants, and the A train goes straight into the heart of Manhattan in about 30 minutes. Two mild things to note: as a previous reviewer said you can hear footfall and noise from the apartment above but that didn't bother us, and there were some ants in the kitchen/main room, but it is on the ground floor so no biggy. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks so much! Nat, Ivan and Albert
