We had a great visit to NYC and very much appreciated the use of Carmela’s apartment. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our family of 4 and everyone had their own space and the kitchen/diner/living room was exactly what we needed. The recently added A/C made the summer nights very comfortable. Location is extremely convenient/ easy using the NYC metro and J-line connection for Manhattan Island were a breeze. The location is a little intimidating to start with but we had no issues even returning after dark. There is a good convenience store (Cathy’s Grocery Store) almost adjacent to the metro entrance which had everything we needed for breakfasts and light suppers.
