My girlfriend and I spent a week at Min's place. She was an excellent host: always quick to respond to my texts/emails, flexible with our check in/out times, and very hospitable. She really wants you to feel at home, I felt more like a long-time roommate than a house guest. Min has some great recommendations on places to check out around city, and is always happy to answer any questions you might have. She also has an adorable and remarkably courteous dog!

The room itself was just as described in the photos. It's cozy and has plenty of space for two people. The air conditioner was a life saver during those hot summer days. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and just about a 5 minute walk to the subway. It's only a 10-15 minute ride to Manhattan as well, which was nice. Plus, there are some really great restaurants and coffee shops nearby; a short walk away is a grocery and convenience store, and also Gantry Park, where you can grab some ice cream and take a walk down the pier along the river.

I would definitely recommend Min's apartment to anyone looking for a place to stay near the city, without all the city commotion. We're actually moving into an apartment just a few blocks from Min's soon, but if we weren't, we would definitely stay with her again! I'm sure we'll be seeing her around town. :)
