We stayed at Edmund's place for 4 nights and coming back from a long day of walking in Manhattan every day we stayed really felt like coming home. The place was very clean, comfortable and Edmund took the time to provide everything we needed and more! Details is what makes a difference, and he made sure everything was available. There is a drug store in the corner (about half a block from his place) which was great to get the basics to a quick meal. The neighborhood was OK, we didn't really get to know anybody because we were out most of the time. The only thing is that it is a little far (about 6-8 blocks) from the subway stations. There is a shuttle stop close by, but we didn't ride it, so I don't know how convenient it was. If you don't mind walking, then it shouldn't be a problem.
