The place looks as pictures, everything was clean, check-in was easy, and Paul greeted me in the dinning area (I arrived late, after 9am), was very welcoming and friendly. It was also nice to have a separate bathroom.
Neighborhood felt safe enough, considering I was alone, didn’t know it at all and was extra cautious while walking alone in the dark.
If you use public transportation, there are busses going to the Blue line. I was stuck in a rush hour only once, otherwise, got around the city rather quickly, NYC-wise. And there is always local bike rentals to use.
