We enjoyed our stay at Jason's apartment. It was clean and welcoming and Jason was friendly and helpful in advising us about local amenities. The Subway into Manhattan is just a short walk away, approx 30 minutes to midtown Manhattan, 50 minutes to JFK and there is a local food store where you can buy the basics. We stayed at the end of October and it was just beginning to get cold, the central heating was not operating whilst we were there as I think Jason was having the boiler serviced, there were some radiant heaters available which we didn't use but if you're planning a visit in winter then I would check with Jason in advance that the central heating is now working.
