Hilal and Maryam were great hosts. They responded quickly to any questions we had before our stay and checked in by email to ensure we had everything we needed once we arrived. Check in was easy and they were very accommodating for us to check in early and drop our bags as we had a very early arrival in NY. The apartment is close to a subway station and line F takes you from Brooklyn into Manhattan in about 30 minutes. It was a relaxing ride back to Brooklyn after a busy day in Times Square. There are a couple of markets close to the apartment as well (we preferred Union Market).
