Our family of five - two adults and three kids aged 16, 18 and 20 - loved J's apartment. It was beautifully presented, sparkling clean and very spacious. There was plenty of room to accommodate all five of us very comfortably. The fridge was stocked with breakfast food items when we arrived, which was a lovely touch, especially as we got there quite late from the airport.Having the subway at the top of the street was really convenient and it was great to have such a short walk back to the apartment after a long day out and about. The R train provides a direct link to Manhattan and good intersections with other lines. We also walked to 69th street and got the ferry to Wall Street one day, which was a wonderful way to approach the city....amazing views, and all for the same price as a subway trip. We would highly recommend staying at J's place, and he responds quickly and clearly to all communication.
