The apartment was very cosy, fully equipped with everything needed for our family, surprisingly including toys and books for the kids, NYC maps and guides and kitchen commodities. The appartment is private enough, voices of neighbours and noises from the street disappear completely when you shut the door and close street windows. The nice hostess was very helpful and provided us with all we needed. Subways are in 5-10 min. walk, it takes 40-50 minutes to Manhattan, and we advise taking J line, as it runs above the ground and gives you a view. There are groceries all around, 24h pharmacy at the subway station, and the Chinese delivery was great.
