Julien's place was our first home in Manhattan for 25 days while we waited for our apartment to be ready.
We were 3 adults and a baby, so it really helped to have the ample space, a fully functional kitchen, washer/dryer in the house and the pack and play which our son loved hanging out in.
Julien went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, with an extra cleaning for our extra long stay and taking care of any issues as they arose (there were not many).
The neighborhood was quite convenient for us in commuting to Upper Manhattan or going downtown. The train station is 3 -4 blocks away.
There are a few nice coffee shops and restaurants around.
I would highly recommend Julien's place and getting to know him and his wife! They are wonderful people with a wonderful place!
