Thank you, Frank. I think you put a great deal of thought into maximizing the space and experience in your Airbnb. Frank placed lights in the kitchen and along the hallway that are activated by motion so there is no concern about making one's way in the dark. There is a lot of light -- spots and lamps -- in the apartment to make up for the small windows in this basement space. I appreciated this very much because I knit, stitch and read a lot, and often bring my own light, which was not necessary here. (There's even a lamp with a bulb that can change color and dim depending on one's mood!) The apartment has a contemporary vibe, ample storage for clothing, nicely equipped kitchen, lots of outlets, a "fireplace" heater if one is chilled, pleasant pictures and decorative touches throughout. Frank was quick to respond to any e-mails, and very accommodating, very friendly, but also respectful of my privacy.
The apartment is three doors away from the main street, with a fruit/vegetable market on the corner and great ethnic food along the street. I recommend Chinese Dumpling House, Tacos el Asador and Mama Chef, all in easy walking distance. It's a beautiful residential neighborhood otherwise.
Yes, as noted earlier, one can feel the vibration and hear the passing of the subway trains, but I've lived in an apartment in a large city most of my life and was not bothered by this ambient noise; in fact, I found it rather soothing. A tall person may feel claustrophobic as the ceilings are low.
I would love to return here in the future.
