What a wonderful long-term stay I had at Naomi's place in Riverdale! The location is perfect; even as a single woman I felt safe at all times of day and night (coming and going). It also has great access to the subway and the bus system, with stops just a short walk away. Be aware that this section of the Bronx is very hilly, and you most certainly will have a climb a hill or many sets of steps going in one or both directions. The nearest subway stop is 239th street (120 steps going down to the stop, then 3 flights climbing up to the platform). The nearest bus stop is at the Henry Hudson Parkway, where you can find an express bus to Manhattan ($6.75). The best part of the apartment is the outside patio with table and chairs. I spent many hours out there, eating my breakfast and reading the morning news (wifi reaches out there easily). The apartment itself is the walk-out basement of a large house on a street full of apartment buildings. Sunlight comes in through the French doors and there are many plants decorating that area. The driveway up to the French doors serves as a parking area, so be aware that if you park your car there, you will be blocking your view out that door. That door serves as the entrance to the apartment, and leads to a room which contains 2 twin beds and a closet cupboard. The main room has a couch, chairs, dining table, TV and an alcove with a queen-sized bed. At night it is completely dark in there, because there are no windows. This can be a bit disconcerting at first, but I grew to love it as I slept better with no light coming in. There are two dehumidifiers which run continuously, so you don't feel any humidity even though you are underground. There is an A/C window unit which I ran whenever I was home, which helped also to keep the place at a comfortable temperature and humidity level. The kitchen consists of a hot water kettle, dorm-style refrigerator and microwave. There was also a coffee pot, toaster and maybe even a blender which I did not use. The kitchen is in the laundry room, so the laundry wash-sink counts as the kitchen sink. Everything is thoughtfully planned out, and there are dishes, etc. available. There are steps near the kitchen which lead up to Naomi's place. Her door is always closed and she always knocked before opening it to come down. The bathroom is small, but the shower is huge and has great water pressure. The toilet has a built-in bidet. There is a clothes rack outside the bathroom for hanging wet towels. The bathroom is stocked with towels, wash-clothes, toilet paper, etc. If you are staying long-term as I was, I would recommend you negotiate ahead for use of parking, cost of overnight guests and use of the washing machine. It's a real gem of a place and I hope to get back some day.
