The check-in process was smooth and flexible. Roy's email and notes in the house had clear instructions on how to enter the space, how to easily find restrooms, and WiFi details. Roy and his co-host were responsive, and we easily found our way in and out of the house with no difficulty even though we didn't get to meet them in person. The area, although not upscale, felt safe. I was able to find free street parking quite easily ~5 minutes away from the house. The place was a bit overpriced, but was definitely one of the best that I could find for a last minute plan visit to NYC.
