Don't be mislead by the auto shop at street level; this apt is bright and clean, with high ceilings giving the place a spacious feel. Because the bedrooms are at the back, they are surprisingly quiet for such a busy road. It was easy to get around with the C train so close, and there's plenty in walking distance. We also did have our car, and the couple of times we used it we easily found parking within 2-3 blocks. Edna and Isaiah were extremely communicative and accommodating. They live right in the building, and it's clear they care about the quality of their guests' stay. The couple of requests we made (a 2nd set of keys, lowering the heat) were met right away. This is not the apt for you if a fully kitted out gourmet kitchen is important to you, but it's perfectly adequate to make a simple breakfast or lunch. I checked out a lot of listings, and the price for this conveniently located 2 bedroom could not be beat.
