We had a great stay at Renee's apartment. It is clean, light and spacious as well as being charming as it is in a renovated Brownstone with lots of original features. It is in a quiet residential area but it took us just under 10 minutes to walk to the Metro ( the A and C Lines) and then another 15 minutes to reach Manhattan. The A Line also goes directly to the airtrain at JFK. The apartment is in a vibrant area with lots of shops and restaurants but after 8 weeks travelling we decided to cook for ourselves. This was easy in Renee's well equipped kitchen and with a very good supermarket about 5 minutes walk away. Just a few steps away there were several corner stores where you could get the basics such as milk and bread. All written communication was very easy with Renee and she was very amiable when she greeted us on arrival and later on when she provided us with further advice and assistance during our week long stay. This was a great place to stay to finish our 9 week holiday. Highly recommended!
