Sammy is a very nice and open-minded host. She opened the door herself as we were arriving from the airport at 11pm and took great care, even if it was late, to introduce her house and what we could use! The bed and bedroom is very comfortable and the whole appartement is very clean. Kitchen is super convenient to use, we were able to use pans, saucepans, coffee brewer, milk frother, oven and pretty much everything needed if cooking is involved!
The apartment is less than 5 minutes away from a subway station and it takes approx. 35min to get to lower manhattan! The R and N train both pass by 53rd st (the subway station) and take you directly to Manhattan or you can transfer to express lines if you want to be faster!
Neighbourhood was okay, it felt safe even though we were two young women, and grocery shops are available near.
