Amarelle & Tall are very nice people and the flat is clean and comfortable. We liked our stay very much. Tall was quick to answer any question we had. We got all the help we need. Its easy to go with subway to manhatten from utica. ( half and hour ride) You can go by bus, if you want to go to wiliamsburg. We missed a little cosy “cityfeeling”, with small shops in the area..there are a lot of grocery and food nearby. We can highly reccommend the Ramen restaurant. 5 min from the house :) all best Felix & Camilla.
