We loved our stay at Robbin's apartment. It's in a safe/good area close enough to public transport, grocery stores and most importantly great coffee! We'd recommend Crema on Digby Street (we got our first coffee in the mornings here) or Sweatshop (owned by some guys from Melbourne) on Metropolitan Avenue-stronger second coffees for us each day. The kitchen is very well set up with all the essentials should you want to cook. The bed was comfortable and the apartment clean. Although small, the bathroom was well equipped too with a good shower and hairdryer. Robbin was always quick to respond to any messages we sent and we would stay here again should we be in the area. The only thing you may want to be aware of if you are a light sleeper (as we are) - the apartment is on the entry level and the bedroom is on the street so you may hear some street noise (although it's not a major road) and the person in the apartment above seems to keep odd hours and you will definitely hear them walking around and opening and closing their sliding door wardrobe above you. However in saying that....it is NYC and it's certainly not as noisy here as it is in Manhattan!
