Dena was a very gracious host. Upon our arrival, she was there to greet us and give us an overview of the neighborhood and the apartment. She was very accessible during our stay, as well. Mother nature decided to give us rain just as we arrived and Dena provided us with an extra umbrella, which I thought was very nice. The neighborhood felt very safe as my son and I walked around exploring. The place is very quaint, comfortable, and clean. I loved her luxury towels and soap dispensers in the bathroom. The outside seating was nice, as was the air conditioning, (it was very muggy while we vacationed) not to mention the guide book with menus she provided. We found that very helpful and took advantage of a few of her recommendations. We were not disappointed. I would definitely recommend Dena's place and would not hesitate to go back there for my next stay. We did go to Manhattan during our stay and it was pretty close to the subway and the ride wasn't too long. This place gives you the best of both worlds - access to the hustle & bustle of the city and a quiet place to rest after a long day.
