Great Value

We stayed here for a week with our two college aged children for our first vacation in New York City. The owner was very nice and helpful, the apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. The subway was only 1/2 block away, which was very convenient, and we felt safe in the neighborhood even walking on the streets late at night. I especially appreciated that the bunks were sturdy enough for our adult children, and that they didn't have to share a bed as they would have had to do with most of the other apartments offered for rent through VRBO. Overall, we loved our stay in NYC, and saving money by staying in this apartment helped stretch our vacation budget. It is a pretty long ride into Manhattan, but we didn't mind as people-watching on the subway was fun. We didn't spend much time in the neighborhood, but we did eat once at Sybil's bakery (excellent Carribbean food) across the street, and went there a couple of times in the morning for pastries. They were very friendly and helpful, serving us once before they were actually open, giving us free meat pies to try, and answering all our questions cheerfully. I would recommend this rental to anyone who wants a clean, comfortable place to stay for a very reasonable price, as long as they don't mind a bit of a ride into Manhattan.
