Rod's family was an amazing host. The apartment was always clean, and quiet. I felt safe in the area, and felt comfortable walking home alone late into the evening. I was at Rod's place for 1 month, and would definitely return if I were to visit New York again. The room is perfect for 1-2 people. The location is also very close to MTA stations, and you can get anywhere in a snap. Thanks for everything! It was an amazing experience!
