We arrived much later in the afternoon than anticipated but Tom was there to greet us and let us in. Communication was easy and quick.
Literally a 5-minute walk to the L train and the ride into city seemed about 20 minutes - not bad at all. The apartment was clean and quaint. Beds were uncomfortable. Kitchen a but under-equipped for those of us who don't eat out, but stay in to cook our breakfast and dinner. I didn't like the area. It was dirty and ghetto-like but I felt safe nonetheless alone with my 9 and 12 year-olds. Our main reason for staying at this apartment was the free parking spot which was so perfect, right outside our door, didn't have to move the minivan once in 3 days.
