Faheem's Review:

I had a wonderful time staying in this place. There are many good things about the house and the neighborhood and I will try to recall some of the major points:

The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Both Line 2 and 5 were 12/15 minutes walk from the house. I also took Bx26 to be in the Line 2 station when I was in a hurry or the weather was bad. There are a lot of options for grocery and food within walking distance from the apartment/flat/ as well.

The Apartment/Flat:
To me, the best thing about the apartment/flat where I stayed is the abundance of natural light during the day time. As an academic, I had to finish several papers and I completed a major part of my writing (in the 4 weeks I stayed in Bronx) sitting in the living area. This place has plenty of chairs and tables of different heights. Hence, I was not always stuck in only one type of sitting arrangement while writing or reading.

The Host:
I was primarily in contact with Frank, one of my hosts. He is a true gentleman. He has always ready to answer any questions from my end with a smile (in person) or a prompt text/SMS. After a very bad blizzard, which dumped 2/3 feet of snow in New York, he was very quick in ensuring my mobility and cleared a huge quantity of snow from my door area as soon as the storm was finished. He has been quite flexible and shared his insights about the neighborhood with me, which helped me to navigate though the area more easily.

Overall, I have a lot of good memories from this place and would love to stay here again in Summer, given this place will be free during that time!
