We arrived a little early when Melissa was finishing up the cleaning. She showed us around and talked to us about the neighborhood. It would have been helpful to have a list of favorite restaurants or things to do in the area. They did provide travel guides. The apartment was large and roomy. We knew not to expect views out of the windows from the reviews. Our two main complaints were the out-of-order elevator and our unawareness of the neighborhood. Melissa explained the neighborhood simply as safe and un-gentrified. It would have helped to have that as part of the listing. We loved having the subway stop so close and the park nearby. All-in-all it was a good experience.
