Anne’s place is the ground floor apartment in a lovely brownstone building in a picturesque street. The apartment is open plan and spacious with a cute courtyard out back. The apartment is safe with security bars on all windows and doors. It’s cosy and dry with no drafts or mustiness. The central heating is functioning well and there is an air conditioner if needed. Plenty of hot water as well. The bed is comfortable with good quality linen. Overall, the apartment was comfortable and clean and mostly had everything we needed for our 3 week stay.
It’s a 4 minute walk to the subway station and an easy A train trip to Manhattan. There are a couple of good grocery stores just near the subway with decent fruit and veggies. We felt very safe on the surrounding streets and loved the diverse and interesting characters along the way.
Anne met us on arrival and settled us in without fuss. She was very thoughtful and helpful giving us some useful tips and guidance. She was always available (she lives upstairs) if needed and did respect our privacy and went the extra mile to make us feel welcome in our home away from home.
