Babajide is a lovely man. He’s very kind and easy going.
The apartment was lovely and in a perfect location for us. Subway is very close and the area seemed safe. There are some great places to eat. The deli on the corner was excellent for wraps, panini and bagels. The staff in there were also lovely. The bagels in Bergen Bagels were EXCELLENT! Neither of these places are cheap though but nevertheless worth a go. We also had a great pizza from Dino’s on the next block, which was excellent value.
There are supermarkets near by, some ‘organic’ meaning expensive and one cheaper supermarket with the kind of surly staff that made me feel completely at home. We bought food and drinks for snacks here, saving ourselves a fortune compared to the other supermarkets. Wendy’s, McD and a fried chicken place are also close by.
It’s 45 minutes from JFK and 20 minutes from Manhattan.
The apartment can be a bit noisy for light sleepers; the street outside is busy and the subway at the back can be a bit noisy too.
I’d highly recommend this apartment. Babajide is lovely and whilst the apartment is not luxurious it suited us perfectly.
