We enjoyed it very much being John's guests. He is a very nice and friendly host and has taken care of us. He even provided us with fresh towels and new bedclothes at the weekend.
It is a very cozy and quite place in a save neighborhood and provides a lot of space for 4 people.
The only thing we realy missed was actually an espresso machine. We bought one for less in a kitchen store, since we like to drink fresh espresso. However you can take you breakfast at the corner. It serves good croissants and tasty cakes.
There are several subway stations not too far away in walking distance that brings you to Manhattan or Prospect Park area. But you could also check out the city bike station in front of the appartement.
