We felt really warmly welcomed by Peter and Liz - fom the little welcome message and gift waiting for us on our arrival to the supportive and helpful text communications between us if we had any practical questions about our stay. The area was great - easy access to Manhattan from Ralph Avenue subway station (C line) which is about a seven minute walk. The area felt safe and friendly. We even went to the block party whilst we were there and met the neighbours! Very good shops withn walking distsnce, and a great diner one block away.
