So many great things, where to begin?
First of all Valerie is the best host ever! Period.
She took great lengths to make sure our family of four were comfortable at her place. She allowed great deal of flexibility on the day we arrived AND the day we were leaving, as the weather was getting cold. Still grateful while I write this.
Also, the location is amazing, less than a block from the near R train subway station. Also, very close to the ferry terminal, with access to downtown Manhattan or Staten Island.
Easy access nearby to grocery stores, nice restaurants and Superfresh supermarket (with delivery service ) nearby.
Safe and quiet neighborhood, we were staying on Christmas and new years eve and had zero problems with parties or loud noise.
As for the apartment itself, very cozy, very clean, well decorated and had everything inside to make our lives very easy, cookware, clean towels, laundry machines in the basement, everything included. Winter was no problem at all, as the heating system works flawlessly and feels warm even in the kitchen or in the bathroom. We felt right at home!
Couldn't have stayed at a better place in the NYC area.
We were really reluctant to leave...
Would love to return as soon as possible!! We recommend wholeheartedly to any type of traveler, be it a short or long stay, as was our case!
