Joan and Fred were wonderful hosts, very kind and generous. The apartment is very roomy and comfortable, and the pull out bed is comfortable. It is a basement apartment, and the only windows are in the bedroom, but it is so charming and welcoming that it was easy to get used to this. The area is very interesting, the Lark Cafe is only a block away and next to an excellent Thai restaurant, and the F line is about a seven minute walk that takes you to most places. The other train line is the Q that takes you direct to Broadway, again the station is less that 10 minutes away, and the neighbourhood is very safe to walk around in at night.

Joan was so very kind to me, I suffered insomnia for several days and she took me to a herbalist to get a tea that would help me sleep. It did the trick! Joan also stocked the fridge for us with breakfast supplies, and helped with everything from advice on getting laundry done to ordering me a car for the train station when I left. I would stay here again in a second.
