We spent three nights in Ed & Sarah's garden apartment. We didn't get to meet Ed in person but Sarah was most welcoming and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. As noted by previous reviewers, eggs, yogourt and various other breakfast mainstays were waiting for us in the fridge when we arrived. The apartment itself is quite spacious—not at all what you'd expect if you assume New York boils down to Manhattan—and clean, which made it easy for us to feel right at home. There's a subway stop close by, and Manhattan is only a 20 minute train ride away. That said, it would be a shame to miss out on the surrounding neighbourhood, which is remarkable for its diversity and its excellent bars and restaurants, in addition to providing a perfectly safe setting. All in all, we had a lovely time while there.
