We loved the apartment. It was CLEAN. You can tell Jennifer looks after the place like it was the guest room in her house and not a downstairs rental. The station for the A Train is just around the corner and the 1-train station is on Broadway, less than a 15 minute walk. Came prepared to call cabs but never needed one. There's a school across the street and things were active on Friday morning (and assuming all weekday mornings) but in a residential way. Saturday and Sunday mornings were quiet - we could have slept until 10 if our schedule hadn't been so full. Had a great time. We'll stay with Jennifer again if we ever get to come back to NY.
