This apt was perfect for me and my dogs while working in NYC for the week. Very minimalist, but serene; truly a nice place to come back to after a long day. Overall, pretty clean and very comfortable. Note, there is no TV. The backyard is lovely and was much enjoyed. Location wise, not the closest to the train, or most convenient to Manhattan, but manageable; very close to two bus stops. Lots of corner stores, but not many restaurants from what I saw. There is a nice park a few blocks away. All in all, a great value. I highly recommend and would definitely return.
