This is a cozy basement apartment that has been furnished with comfort in mind. Everything is here. Gladys is a sweetheart and checked twice to make sure we wanted for nothing. We don't like staying in touristy neighborhoods so this was great for us. There is a large supermarket a block away and access to subways within a few blocks. Everyone we met was friendly. New Yorkers are some of the friendliest people we have encountered. We've already booked a second stay at Gladys' place.
