This apartment was almost exactly as it was advertised. The unit was clean, and the images are spot on. The hosts were extremely kind and accommodating of our needs.
Public transport to New York City is easy to access.
It should be noted that the stairway that leads to the apartment is both narrow and steep. This makes it slightly difficult to heave large suitcases to and from the apartment.
It is definitely not the prettiest of neighborhoods and commuting at night is slightly uncomfortable unless you're in a car. There are no stores or restaurants within a block or two.
