My daughter and I visited NY and had a lovely time at Madisons place. She was so accommodating. the apartment was very very clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was very typical Bushwick New York but I felt very safe. Convenience store across the street was just perfect and if you needed more, 2 blocks around the corner was plenty of places to get food or do a little shopping.The train station was 2 blocks down and took you anywhere you really want to go. I didn't have a problem with noise. I have stayed places that were much louder. I would recommend it anytime of the year. And when I come back, I will definitely be staying at Madisons again.
