Giorgia and Benjamin were great hosts, very friendly. They have a dog, so if you are not a dog person maybe not for you, but I am a dog person and Skye was very friendly. The room was comfortable, had AC which is vital in NYC in summer. Everything clean and attractive. The location is excellent, right on the L subway line, lots of taxis driving by all the time (even late at night). Too many restaurants, bars and cafes withing walking distance to list. The apartment has access to a back yard with overarching trees, so one morning after getting coffee I sat out back reading--very pleasant.
