The neighborhood is a little creepy at first especially if you get there at night. But we weren't from NY and apparently most neighborhoods have this aura. People were friendly regardless. The apartment was nice and we had access to the kitchen. We shared a bathroom with a busy guest who we saw maybe twice during our 3 night stay. The room was spacious, there was a fan, but we barely needed it. The bed was two full size bed put together. Comfortable but squeaky. Also If you plan on sleeping in, it gets noisy outside, however we didn't come to sleep and were gone most of the day till late night. The train station is 15min away (walking). But be prepared to spend a lot on metro passes. We met the host once. She was very nice and asked if we needed anything. Considering we booked an hr before checking in, I'm grateful they were able to accommodate us on such short notice. Within an hr we had booked and showed up to the place. Robert the person who let us in was nice enough to engage in conversation, he told me a little about himself and where he came from. Overall this was a very good listing and I wasn't disappointed in my choice.
