The apartment is very nice and well equipped. It was quiet, spacious, and secure. We were pleasantly surprised that it was on the second floor. We arrived later than expected, after dark, and got lost in the neighborhood, so I recommend arriving before dark. Transportation options were good. We were able to catch the M or R train at a subway station a few blocks away and transfer to the 7 train to get to Billie Jean King Arena for the U.S. Open. The hosts were helpful and responded to requests quickly. TV is large but didn't offer channels we had hoped for, such as ESPN, but it provided other choices for entertainment and weather.
