Desmar's place is just as shown in pictures, it is conveniently located in the neighbourhood (restaurants - I recommend the pizzeria Giovanni!, supermarkets, delis all within a couple of blocks) and a very short walk away the subway. Line 2 serves NY very well, so subway connection is optimal. The place was clean and tidy and Desmar is an outstanding host, a very helpful and kind person quite frankly, is always available when needed.
