Great value in a comfortable basement apartment, although rather gloomy and dingy entrance. 5 minute walk to the Subway station (direct to mid-town Manhattan) and a great small Italian restaurant a 3 minute walk away (Antica Trattoria on Fresh Pond Road). Also lots of shopping (supermarkets, etc.) 5 to 10 min. walk away.
Only complaints are heavy walkers in the unit above sometimes, no bottled water provided as promised and terrible ground coffee supplied (probably stale). In any event, excellent value for NYC area.
