We had a comfortable stay with a family of five in Sandrines appartment. It was very clean and stylish. Two queensize beds and a comfortable sleeping sofa suited us well. The kitchen was well equipped (but little more silverware is necessary for 5). We took all our meals in the nice little patio. Public transportation is easy to reach and served all areas of Manhattan via A,B,C,J,M,Z-line - but overall traveling time was about 30-40 Minutes end-end to downtown Manhattan. The neigborhood is very lifely and partially gentrified.
