Al was at the apartment when we arrived. He showed us through the apartment and gave us needed information (like how to work the TV), and told us a little about the neighborhood. The apartment was clean, nicely decorated, and well furnished, with all the comforts of home. Both beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and Al left us some Chinese food!

The neighborhood is residential, but there are shops and restaurants nearby, with a little store across the street for snacks, etc. There were drugstores within walking distance for those toiletry items we forgot to bring. The subway station for the A was just steps away, with stations that connect to other lines a short ride away.

We enjoyed our stay. Al is a wonderful host. We feel like the apartment is a good value, less expensive than a hotel with much more room and the atmosphere of a home.
