we stayed in Bruno's place in December for almost 3 weeks. the location is pretty far from the city but it suited us because it was close to my family. great from summer vacation since it's close to the beach. the place was easy to get in, pretty clean and cozy. though turned out to be smaller than we thought - pretty small for a couple with a lot of stuff. it could use some new furniture and some work. also didn't find any mugs/ cups, utensils or anything - would be a nice addition. the heating in the building was a life saver! it was very cold when we visited New York, and it was nice to come back to a warm appartment. there was a strong smell in the apartment, Bruno was very responsive and sent the maids to check and clean. unfortunately, there was no difference. anyway we plugged in some febreze and it was fine. we felt the price was a bit too high (even though it was an expensive period) but overall it was clean, warm, safe and very close to the train so it suited us well.
