We had a great stay at Alison’s place. The apartment is exactly as described, very clean, comfortable, spacious (we are a family of 5), very quiet too. The air conditioning was very much appreciated as we stayed during the July heatwave. It is conveniently located close to multiple subway stations, we were just not super comfortable walking pass the homeless shelter by Nostrand lines A and C station (better to go through lines 2-3-4-5 from the south). All in all, a very good place to stay to discover New York!
