Simone (and her mother!) was very hospitable both in the communication before we arrived and during our five weeks at the place. We had some problems with for example a leak in the washing machine, but as soon as we told them about this they organised for a plumber to come and fix it. The place is spacious and clean, just five minutes walk from the 2, 3 and 5 trains, and about 10 minutes from the 4 train, making the commute in to Manhattan very convenient. Many nice little restaurants in the area for quick bites. Would def recommend this to anyone!!
