We were a party of four guys in New York for a friend's wedding and stayed for five nights. This is a beautiful apartment which appears to be recently refurbished and is well kitted out. The location is good in terms of access to subways (one 2 minutes away and another toward Ridgewood about 15 minute walk in the other direction). But the neighbourhood is quite noisy which may not suit some. We didn't meet Carmela but she left us a helpful email prior to our stay which was very concise in terms of check in and worked well for us as we were not all arriving at the same time. Overall, we had a really good stay.
