I am very happy with my stay, and If I have chances to take courses in NYBG again, I will no doubt choose this apartment again! Ruth and Gilo are a very nice couple! They are easy to get along, and give my plenty of space to be very comfortable. Ruth keeps the apartment meticulously clean and beautiful. And Gilo helps fixing anything within a day. In the summer, the apartment got hot, but you can stay cool with AC in your room. The building is managed well and clean enough. The neighborhood is fine. The location is great, about 7-10 min walk to subway and train station. I usually get back before darkness, but did walk alone from Bedfork station to the apartment Saturday night (9-11pm) 2-3 times and I felt fine ,though I still recommend avoiding that because there are far less people on the train when it gets late. There are no restaurants nearby so you do need to cook by yourself.
