We highly recommend staying at Katie's place. We spent three wonderful days there. The apartment is very well located: close to many stores, restaurants, bars, including a spacious Whole Foods. It is easy to get to Manhattan since the apartment is only a five-minute walk from the subway station. The apartment is clean, quiet, and well-equipped. The only problem that we encountered was our inability to turn on the television despite Katie's explanations. (The problem may have been related to our digital ineptitude.) Katie accomodated our request to remain in the apartment for an extra five hours, at no additional charge, which we really appreciated.
