We stayed 3 weeks in the appartement of Toni, a party of 3, and we can recommend it absolutely. The appartement is as descriped, we felt like being at home. Everything was there for our comfort, Toni was the best host we could have. She did everything to make us feel as comfortable as possible and respected our privacy in all terms. As she's living downstairs it is very easy to contact her if you need something.
The appartement is very quiet, you don't hear nothing from the neighbors or from her, only the street can get loud when the ambulance or fire-brigade is driving through, on some days you hear clearly the airplanes heading to La Guardia.
The app. has a very good location, only 5 minutes to 3 different subway-stations (Franklin Av, Nostrand (A/C-Line) and Nostrand-Bedford (G-Line), also several bus-routes round the corner. There is a bigger, modern, new supermarket (Metropolitan) just across the street open 7 days and open till late where you can find almost all your needs. We felt safe in this area, even when coming home late at night (latest was 2 am), there are always people on the streets, some shops, bars and restaurants have open all night. It is a neighborhood where gentrification is in full process.

We thank Toni for the nice stay we had and would be happy staying again at her app. when coming back to NYC one day.
Best wishes,
Christophe, Sabine and Annick
