We had a wonderful stay at Tali's beautiful apartment! It's spacious but cosy with all the essentials to get ready for a day in the city and Tali was very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay from our very late arrival due to delayed flight to not having to carry our suitcases around with us on our last day. Location is very comfortable with a nice short walk to Utica Ave or Gates Ave subway stations. We more often chose Utica Ave for express A line to get fast to Midtown or Upper West Side, but going to Gates Ave definitely has better views with above ground stations especially while crossing the river. There are nice little cafes in the neighborhood like Żabka with delicious savory sandwiches or Natural Blend with tasty pumpkin or banana bread but you can read all about it and more in a nice welcome packet Tali prepared to introduce us to the area. We are so happy we could stay at Tali's place on our very first time together in NYC and we definitely want to come back soon!
