The house was very welcoming, clean and furnished with everything is needed for a short stay in NY visiting the city. I would recommend the house due to the position, as it's very few steps away from the L subway to Manhattan (3-5 mins walking). Even though out of responsibility of the owners, I would report that we saw lot of rats just out the entrance door and all across the street, basically at anytime. Something should be done to improve this, but besides our stay at the apartment was very nice! Thanks to the owners!
