It was a pleasure to live there. Ayesha and Joseph are always willing to help and communicative hosts. Though the distance from Manhattan was quite annoying sometimes (it usually took us an hour to get there by subway train), but it's totally worth the price you pay. And the subway station itself is only two blocks away from the house. We just loved the private entrance and a felling of having our own apartment far away from home. The neighbourhood seemed to be neither great, nor bad, but safe and quiet. The apartment itself, as well as the backyard, was cozy and clean. We were only missing a closet, which was absent. All things considered, I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who is looking for a cheap and nice place to stay. It's the best deal you can get for this price in NYC area.
