I had a wonderful stay at Julia's place. She is a very nice and sweet woman. She gave me very good recommendations about what to do/see in NYC. At the same time. Also, she made her house really feel like a home, she even made me coffee in the morning and i ate all her cookies :) The location is very good: the subway is 5-minute walk, and in 15 minutes you are at Manhattan. I felt very safe in this neighbourhood. Definitely recommend to stay at her place!
