The apartment is a nice space and felt clean. Each bedroom had its own physical key and we felt safe leaving our belongings during the day. We only had to walk a few blocks to get to the light rail, so it was very to easy to take public transit into NYC. I don't know how much you would want to walk around the area very late at night, but we just took a Lyft the one time we got back after midnight and it was fine (like any city/new place, just be smart). The hosts were responsive and helpful. This was our first time staying at an Airbnb and based on our experience here, we will definitely use it again.
