Amy and Steven are great hosts that go above and beyond. The apartment is so nice - large, comfortable and clean. It's close to transportation and has some fun, new restaurants close by. The value is undeniable. We felt very safe in the apartment and, although the neighborhood seems a bit rough, after we spoke to some people we were reassured that walking around at night was fine - which we found to be the case. A true New York experience. Try it out.
