For the price, this is a satisfactory lodging. The home is older and, as such, not luxurious. It was certainly passable, and if you plan to spend the majority of your time in the city, and you are willing to rough it a bit, this will suit your needs. The host is very accommodating and provided excellent communication. The subway is only about ten minutes away, and we were able to easily walk there and back in the morning and evening without feeling unsafe at any time. The neighborhood is quiet enough that we didn't have trouble sleeping.
