We, four young women from Switzerland, spent 10 days in Vinneth's lovely apartment. It is beautifully decorated, spacious and very cosy. There are grocery stores very close by (2-5min by foot) and the subway to Manhattan (Train A) is a 10 min walk from the place. Try out the café Paris-Dakar on Nostrand Av., on the way to the subway station! We felt safe too. Vinneth was a lovely host, thank you! I would definitely stay at this place again!
